Travel Intelligence | Cambodian Culture & The Criminal Element By Anthony Healy
cambodian culture The Criminal Element By Anthony Healy How culpableare tourists in the looting of Cambodian temples? I was concerned
http://www.travelintelligence.net/wsd/articles/art_319.html

Extractions: How culpable are tourists in the looting of Cambodian temples? I was concerned about poverty-stricken peasants forced to loot temples in an attempt to find a better quality of life. When I voiced these concerns to a senior Cambodian diplomat, he roared with laughter. This, he said, was cocktail party romanticism. Temples are not looted by local peasants, who revere the holiness of these sites, but by organized and efficient teams of bandits... Feedback How culpable are tourists in the looting of Cambodian temples? A few weeks ago I attended a cocktail party in Hong Kong. On a small wooden pedestal in the sitting room was a stone carving of the head of Buddha. Our hostess informed us that it was 14th century and from Cambodia. She tossed the information out with what she must have thought was aplomb and left to mingle with the other guests. In the small group around the statue, a discussion followed as to the ethical implications of purchasing such an item, something its relatively easy to do in Hong Kong. A stroll down Hollywood Road in the Central district would reveal several ancient Cambodian pieces, mostly taken from full-sized statues.

Extractions: Cambodian Dance Dance is divided into two categories in Cambodian Culture,Classical Dance, and Folk Dance. Before 1970 Classical Dance was really only seen by Royalty. The folk dances were done by people in the villages. They show the activities of every day life. A popular dance we learned in the gym and music classes was the Roam Vung. The Roam Vung is a dance done in a circle around a table. The music sounds like American popular music because it uses guitars,drums,and key boards. These are the dances that we are learning for our Cambodian New Year celebration at the Butler School. Interview of Angkor Dance Troupe Dancing is an important part of Cambodian life because it is a spiritual connection to Cambodian music. The dancers of the Angkor Dance Troupe learned the dances by practicing a lot. They would start at the age of six and practice in the evening and do school work in the morning. It is like school because they learned for four years then went to middle school, then when they were done middle school they went to high school. They felt a need to teach kids because they wanted to pass down traditions so that the Cambodian traditions will not die. They teach classical and folk dances.The classical dances were always performed for the royal families. The folk dances deal with every day life like farming. Some dances include the coconut, the magic scarf dance, and the monkey dance. Each dance has its own meaning. The coconut dance represents the south- west, water, and soap.

At the Butler School we learned that the use of music in cambodian culturehas similarities to the use of music in American culture.
http://home.earthlink.net/~shadotclark/Music.html

Extractions: Cambodian Music At the Butler School we celebrate Cambodian New Year. We learn songs and dances then present a program that all the students share in the celebration of New Year. New Years American New Year is a fun day and night. Many people go to parties and other celebrations, like First Night. People at First Night usually go see the shows and do the other activities, like go and get their face painted or get balloon animals. Later they might go see the fireworks and ice sculptures. Other people go to parties and drink alcohol. Cambodian New Year is a lot different than American New Year. They have theirs for 3 days and nights not one. They have lots of different dances. They also have Cambodian singing. The kids have money given to them, and they also have lots of food. They play games with powder and lipstick. They have to get dressed up to represent traditions of culture. American and Cambodian New year is the same in some ways. One way is they have celebrations like we do, like parades, shows, and other stuff. Another one is the families usually gather together. The last one is they both usually have parties. M.S.

EthnoMed: EthnoMed: Clinical Pearl - Naming In Cambodian Culture
Pearls of Cross Cultural Care Naming in cambodian culture. The most importantcriteria in cambodian culture is ethics, and beauty is not an essence.
http://ethnomed.org/ethnomed/pearls/camb_naming.html

Extractions: Seattle, WA One feature of Cambodian names that often confuse westerners is the origin of family names and the order they are used. This can present confusion in schools and in clinics as filing systems and roll calls are developed. The Cambodian name is always spoken and written in the order of last name then first name. For example: if my last name were Soth, and my first name were Sopheap. My full name would be written as Soth Sopheap. Notice, there is no comma used to separate the last name from the first name. My family and friends will call me Sopheap, or by a nick name. In Cambodia my records would be categorized with Soth as my last name. This can cause substantial confusion in the American record keeping system because someone may think my last name is Sopheap because it is called last and use this as the filing name. I could easily end up with two files, one Soth, Sopheap, and another Sopheap, Soth. Identifying households or family groups can be equally confusing. The Cambodian children usually carry the last name of the father with some exceptions. Siblings may have different last names due to the favoritism of the parents. For example, the father of a Cambodian family name Sok, Narvaratt, has two daughters. The first daughter's name is Sok, Sophany; and the second daughter's name is Narvaratt, Keokalyan. The second daughter carries the father's first name as her last name because she is her father's favorite. Giving his first name to his favorite daughter, the father believe and feel he is closer to her.
EthnoMed: Nutrition And Fasting In Cambodian Cultures
Nutrition and Fasting in cambodian culture. The concept of junk food is notthe same in cambodian culture, though coconut is cited as very fattening.
http://ethnomed.org/ethnomed/cultures/cambodian/camb_nutrition.html

Extractions: June 1, 2001 Most of Washington state's estimated 13,000 Cambodians live in King and Pierce Counties, with the majority living in south and west Seattle neighborhoods, such as Rainier Valley and White Center. Cambodian refugees entered the state in waves in the mid and late1970s, fleeing the brutal regime of the Khmer Rouge, and continued to trickle into Seattle throughout the early and mid-1980s. Cambodians in Seattle often carry on the nutritional traditions of their homeland - much of the Cambodian diet is based on foods readily available at home. An extensive assortment of greens and tropical fruits were grown in gardens or gathered from wild plants. Poultry was raised on rural homesteads. Fish - cheaper than coveted beef and pork - was popular for main dishes, sauces and soups. These food items remain popular with Cambodians in Seattle. The shelves of local Cambodian markets in White Center and the Rainier Valley are crammed with bottled sauces and canned fruits, 50-pound bags of rice, noodles, cookies, candies and teas. Freezers are filled with catfish, mudfish, shrimp and eel. Marinated quail wings soak on ice and barbecued chickens hang by their feet. Impulse items - fried bananas, sticky rice wrapped and tied in banana leaves, plastic cups of sweet rice and green rice flour noodles - await hungry shoppers near cash registers. Local Cambodians say every food item they want to purchase is available in Seattle, though many are imported from Cambodia and Thailand, driving up prices. Jackfruit, a popular dessert, costs about $5 per pound in Seattle. In Cambodia, they are plentiful. Guava, durain, bitter leaf, sadoa leaves, bamboo shoots and wing beans are also more expensive and rare. Canned or frozen items are often more economical than fresh food. Spinach may be substituted for rare, expensive greens.
