Cambodia was a part of the French Indochina from 1887 until its independence in 1953. Quickly thereafter, as the situation of Vietnam War escalated, Cambodia became involved due to its proximity, leading eventually to widespread bombings, and eventually to a situation in which Khmer Rouge was able to seize power.<\/p>\n<p>Khmer Rouge held power between 1975 and 1979, dragging the previously prosperous Jewel of South East Asia to the gutters. Education, the monetary system, culture and religion among others were banned. There are various estimates, but the most commonly used one is that about one third of the population of Cambodia found their perish during these four years. (2 to 2.5 million people).<\/p>\n\n<p>\nAs the Khmer Rouge was finally overthrown in 1979, the country and its survivors found themselves in an absolute disarray.

Family tourism had found its way to Cambodia, a country that since the nineties had been dedicated to the adventurous few. Siem Reap, the home of Angkor Wat, had become a boomtown, with money flowing in from all sides of the world, with a large number of people now employed by tourism. <\/p>\n<p>Garment factories were employing vast numbers of people, with poor conditions and low pay. Regardless, at this time, a large part of Cambodians were living under the poverty line. <\/p>\n<p>However, progress, massive progress was visible and real. The Khmer spirit was soaring, and as evident as ever. To be able to rebuild from a scratch, is an achievement. <\/p>\n<p>And there is something special about the Khmer, in that they have been able to.<\/p>\n\n<\/p>\r\n\t\t
