How to be Cambodian
Holy shit. It's been over a year since this has been up and I'm quite surprised people are still watching it. And there were a couple of things I already knew what was going to happen once I posted it on youtube and it was this, that a lot of people would watch it, a lot of people will like it, and a lot of people will despise it. Personally, I don't care what people think of this video. I didn't make this video to insult or anger those who follow our rich customs. I didn't make it to get famous or recognized. I only made this video for my Khmer language class because I like making movies and it got me out of doing a writing assignment. It was just something fun to do with my friends. I made this video and I tagged it as "Cambodian" so the only way people found it were either Cambodian or really really bored. So I'm amazed really, how some people could have something so far up their asses that they believe I made this video to humiliate the heritage that our parents and ancestors are proud of. But are we so proud a race that we can't humble ourselves long enough to find humor in the things we do? Are we so proud that we can laugh at the expense of everyone else except our own? No, we're not. Our race is no better nor worse than any others that share this planet with us. And if you truly believe otherwise, consider this. Didn't Adolf Hitler, who believed his race was superior, kill off those he believed were inferior? And if you tell yourself, "I'm not like Hitler, I'd never do anything like that." To this I say to you, an entire war started because one man thought he was better than another. And to everyone else who talk this wild shit about Cambodians blah blah this, blah blah that, keep talking because no one's listening. I don't know how brave a person has to be to type on the keyboard, hiding behind a monitor. Or maybe you're the type of person that can't seem to get it up unless you randomly start shit just to get people riled up. Hey don't go to youtube for that, go to viagara.com. Call a doctor if you stay erect past 6 hours. To all the people who supported me and actually understood what my intentions were, I thank you, I really do. You guys know how to live. To everyone else lacking a sense of humor or at least an understanding of this video, let me tell you, it takes more passion to create something than it does to tear it down.

GOOD: Cambodian Sports
http://www.goodmagazine.com/
Decades of war and internal strife have left Cambodia with one of the highest proportions of people disabled by land mines in the world. The country's only professional sports league is the Cambodian National Volleyball League (Disabled), a scrappy network of volleyball teams whose players once fought against each other in times of civil war and now face each other on the court. They also sponsor a wheelchair racing program which empowers women who would traditionally be confined to their homes. Currently, the national volleyball team is ranked number three in the world, and regularly defeats non-disabled teams including an Australian navy squad which has tasted defeat three years running. These national heroes may have lost limbs to land mines, but they'll still whoop you in volleyball.

Cambodian Genocide - Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge
The photographs of the victims from the Cambodian genocide are what really haunt you.
There's a huge discussion of this topic on my blog, http://www.vagabonding.com/travelogue/000060.html
Here's an entry I wrote about this:
Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge, and Genocide in Cambodia
During their three-year, eight-month, and 21-day rule of Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge committed some of the most heinous crimes in modern history:
- The entire population of Cambodia's urban areas was evacuated from their homes and forced to march into rural areas to work the fields.
- Every man, woman, and child was forced into slave labor for 12-15 hours each day.
- An estimated two million people (21% of Cambodia's population) lost their lives. Many of these victims were brutally executed; many more died of starvation, exhaustion, and disease.
That these crimes were committed so recently (1975-1978) makes them all the more sickening. The country's scars are still plainly visible:
- The population is suspiciously youthful (50% is under the age of 15).
- The economy is in shambles. This is partially thanks to the Khmer Rouge's execution of the upper and educated classes. The fact that they destroyed most of the vehicles and machines in the cities can't have helped.
- New human remains turn up around the exhumed mass graves of the Killing Fields of Cheoung Ek on a daily basis. Silent reminders of the tragedy, these bones and teeth are ceremoniously placed into makeshift shrines in tree hollows and cement planters.
It's hard to comprehend the motivations behind an atrocity like the Cambodian genocide. What could have been going through the minds of the Khmer Rouge officers and their leader Pol Pot?
"Hey Pol, I've got an idea, man. Let's turn the country upside down and get real primitive. Evacuate all the cities, march everyone out to the country. And then start farming, man! Big time. And if anyone resists, let's execute them. In fact, let's kill a whole lot of people. I'm talking hundreds of thousands. Maybe millions. And do it real cruel-like. Bash their heads against trees, electrocute 'em, drown 'em in vats of cold water..."
Fear must have been the prevailing motivator in the regime. How could an officer commit such monstrous crimes against his own countrymen? For fear that something even worse would happen to him.
The Khmer Rouge atrocity seems to follow a time-honored recipe for genocide: the obsessive desire to reach a religious or political ideal coupled with a healthy dose of madness.
Why don't we learn? It seems as if past atrocities of genocide haven't served as a warning, but instead as a blueprint for how to repeat them.
But if history has proven human beings to be intrinsically fallible, it has also proven us to be extraordinarily resilient. Pol Pot cast a heavy shadow over Cambodia, but the people have managed to persevere, begin anew, and find joy in life again.
