Hi Diksha,

1. Name 3 iconic monuments/structures in Cambodia
- Angkor Wat
- Ta Phrom
- Royal Palace (Phnom Penh; although it's probably not that iconic)

2. What is the name of the national anthem? When and by whom was it created?
- no idea

3. Name 2 eminent national historical figures
- Pol Pot (for all the wrong reasons)
- Noridom Sihanouk

4. When is the national day celebrated in Cambodia?
- no idea

5. Which are the most important turning points in the Cambodian history?
- The Khmer Rouge war
- The return of government to Khmer rule after the Vietnamese "government" left the country
- The death of Noridom Sihanouk (because after that, the King became a figurehead rather than a ruler who fought the P.M. on certain laws)

Just for fun;
Iconic; Angkor Wat, Koh Ker & Phnom Kulen
Anthem; Nokor Reach by Chuon Nath
Figures; Jayavaraman V11 & Norodum Sihanouk
National Day 9Nov
Turning points; God King 802

Omg it鈥檚 a question I get asked a lot, I get out of bed at 5 am and do 100 push-ups,聽 I run a 5k every morning around Vietnam memorial, I go to coffee , I eat a 2$ breakfast on 172 veg omelette with drink 2$ , I go back to my apartment read what our crazed president is doing, ( I鈥檓 from USA) so now you understand the crazed part, I read two - four newspapers, I go out for a bike ride early afternoon, visit a few friends mostly tuk tuk drivers, sometimes sit on riverside have a glass of iced tea, I come back to my apartment, in the early evening I have a beer on the riverside watch traffic and people , some days I get a 12$ bus to Saigon hang out here a few days, I鈥檓 only a one beer a day kind of guy, after one beer I ride my bike home around 6 eat either go out or I cook , I usually am in bed watching you tube by 8 go to sleep around 10, maybe this sounds boring to you, gosh on paper sounds boring to me, ha , but I do go to vung tau in Vietnam once a month stay at a 10$ a night hotel on the beach, free breakfast, run on the beach visit Thailand ( don鈥檛 really like Thailand) I go back to USA for two months a year, so I just do something or nothing, but I鈥檓 never bored, if I think I鈥檓 getting bored I remind myself , no where to go or I don鈥檛 have to be anywhere, and I鈥檓 thankful I don鈥檛 have a job everyday I smile to myself about that, I moved out of my family home at 15, so I鈥檝e worked too long , I am willing to go or do anything but work, that鈥檚 my life, but I must tell you not one day goes by I鈥檓 not thankful that I do not have to be at a job, I live alone I鈥檓 62 pretty happy , I love cambodia I will never leave
