Re: Interesting older texts regarding Cambodia
as much a window into the mind of the authors and their times as narrative.
highly opinionated, but real conviction.
The 2nd text also makes some assumptions regarding climate as a formative element of the people.

Re: Interesting older texts regarding Cambodia
Because the Khmer people live in the tropics, they tend to avoid physical exertion. The Khmer artistic spirit dwells in a soft, fanciful, and romantic state, one that is low in energy. Khmer music tends to be sentimental, and to make people sleepy.
Khmer people move slowly. They set off for the workplace at a relaxed pace, as if they were on vacation. These factors have shaped the Khmer mentality to prefer people who are inactive rather than active, conservative rather than progressive.

Obviously no Vietnamese readers.
T'was an interesting read that 'Untrodden' text, quite thought provoking.
