Preface
In recent years, mainland people are keen to travel to Thailand, India, Cambodia and other exotic countries in Southeast Asia.
As for Cambodia, some people will think that it is poor, fraud and robbery, and it is intimidating.
But others think that it is quiet, clean, and a paradise on earth, and one of the most important places to visit.
It just so happened that a friend had just returned from a trip to Cambodia and told me a few things about Cambodia.
The real safety factor in Cambodia
In everyone's inherent impression, Cambodia must be a very unsafe country, because there are often cases of Cambodian street killings and robberies on the Internet.
In fact, with the development of Cambodia's tourism industry, the local security has also been improved, especially in those popular attractions with many tourists, such as the Royal Palace of Phnom Penh, the world heritage site "Siem Reap", the Tonle Sap River, etc., the safety factor is very high.
But remember, you can't go to the outskirts of Cambodia at night, and you have to go out with friends, because the security situation there will be lower.
Especially for young girls with good bodies and good looks, don't stay alone at the airport or hang out on the dark streets, as you're likely to make eye contact with local men.
In Cambodia, the number of overseas Chinese is millions, and if you are in trouble, you can ask for help from shops with Chinese characters, generally speaking, the operators of these shops are Chinese, and it will be convenient to communicate.
If you don't have a Chinese shop, you can also ask the overseas Chinese who are wandering the streets for help.
Marriage in Cambodia
During a trip to Cambodia, a friend was fortunate enough to attend a local wedding celebration.
A friend told me that unlike the way of marriage in China, Cambodia pursues the principle that the woman "marries" the man, that is, after the husband and wife get married, the groom must "join" the bride's house.
Generally, the marriage ceremony in Cambodia lasts for three days, and the marriage ceremony takes place at the woman's home.
First of all, the first day of marriage is called "Tent Day", on which the elders of the groom's family go to the bride's house to set up a welcome shed, a cooking shed and a ceremony shed.
Then, on the second day, relatives and friends of both men and women will gather at the woman's house to bless the newlyweds.
On the third day, the "Ceremony Day", the bride and groom perform a grand ceremony, which means that the couple's beautiful life is about to begin.
What's even more surprising to friends is that Cambodian girls can "marry" countless grooms in their lives, and the children born to the bride will also have "many" fathers.
Women in Cambodia are "open"
In the tourist attractions of Cambodia, you can see local sexy girls on the streets, accompanying European men to serve them.
Generally speaking, when European men travel to Cambodia for a few days, local girls will accompany them for a few days, and during these days, as long as the local girls take care of these tourists, then they will be paid a good honorarium, and their income will gradually rise.
In fact, the reason why Cambodia has these occupations is due to the low level of education of many local girls, who generally have to "marry" the groom before finishing school, and in order to subsidize the family, local girls are forced to engage in the tourism service industry.
Environmental situation in Cambodia
Friends said that his first impression of Cambodia was that the weather was too hot, it was very noisy in the downtown area, and the public area was very dirty.
In Cambodia's old town, there are no high-rise buildings, but instead low-rise residential areas of about 6 floors, and the ground has been uneven after long-term rolling.
In addition, there are many shops and stalls on the streets of Cambodia, and the sound of those businesses buying and selling is mixed with the roar of motorcycles and cars, which will make the whole local atmosphere full of chaos.
However, in the Cambodian countryside, the environment is very quiet, and the people are very simple, with the curling birdsong, trickling rivers, lush meadows, etc., painting the beauty of the hidden world.
Cambodia's gastronomic culture
Cambodian people like to eat hot and sour food, rice is an indispensable staple food in their daily diet, meat is generally fish and shrimp and other aquatic products, the cuisine is usually cold or raw pickled.
Due to Cambodia's abundant water resources, it is easy for them to obtain aquatic products, so fish and shrimp food is quite cheap, and some land animal meat is expensive, so fish and shrimp have become a delicacy on the local people's table.
The most special thing is that when Cambodian people make cold dishes, they will not only put some common chili, green onions, garlic, vinegar, etc., but also sprinkle coconut water into them.
If you travel to Cambodia, you must not miss Cambodia's cold food, such as shrimp salad with green papaya shreds, Khmer spicy noodles, raw pickled seafood with fish sauce, etc.
In addition, you can also try the local Cambodian spring rolls, fish ball kway teow, amok fish and other delicacies.
The form of currency circulation and prices in Cambodia
Unlike most countries, Cambodia has 2 currencies that can be circulated in the market, namely the US dollar and the riel, but most people use the US dollar.
If you travel to Cambodia, you must exchange these two currencies in advance, and you can't just choose one of them, because some local merchants only accept US dollars, and some only need riel.
If you fall in love with something, but when you pay for it, you are told that the currency cannot be used in our store, it will create an awkward situation, and that beloved object will have to slip through your fingers.
Generally speaking, in Cambodia, 4,000 riel can only be worth 1 dollar, and 564 riel is only 1 yuan.
In recent years, with the development of Cambodia's tourism industry, people from all over the world have flocked to Cambodia for tourism, so the price of goods in Cambodia has also begun to rise.
For example, an ordinary bottle of water costs $0.42, which is converted into about 3 yuan.
A hamburger costs 4 US dollars, which translates to about 28.5 yuan in RMB.
A bottle of pure milk costs 2.2 US dollars, which is about 16 yuan when converted into RMB.
And there are many more such prices.
However, the local salary in Cambodia is very small, with a monthly income of about 300-500 US dollars, which is estimated to be between 2,143 and 3,572 yuan in RMB.
epilogue
If you want to see a different Cambodia, it is recommended that you must go to the local area to experience it in person.
At the same time, we should accept different customs and cultures from all over the world and respect the traditional Xi of other countries.
