Old pictures of Cambodia tagged: 'Share for the next generation'

Have questions or resources regarding Khmer Culture? This forum is all about the Kingdom of Cambodia's culture. Khmer language, Cambodian weddings, French influence, Cambodian architecture, Cambodian politics, Khmer customs, etc? This is the place. Living in Cambodia can cause you to experience a whole new level of culture shock, so feel free to talk about all things related to the Khmer people, and their traditions. And if you want something in Khmer script translated into English, you will probably find what you need.

So what's with the vast wads of notes...did they have Weimar Republic style hyperinflation at some stage?

This house is still in Chbar Ompov, fresh bamboo village near my house.
I believe this house is more Chinese Merchant style, but I've also seen many similar one around pagodas.

Those other pictures are fantastic, I had a beeper like that in about 1994.
Thanks i tried putting them in order to show a little story of Cambodia from the 90's to early 2000's
