Here is my first postcard from Cambodia. It shows the most popular tourist spot: Angor Wat. It is the biggest and well known temple complex in the region Angkor. Furthermore it is an outstanding national symbol and is also present in the national flag of Cambodia. Cambodia is a state in Southeast Asia. The country is situated between Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. The capital city is Phnom Penh. Through the country flows the river Mekong, which counts to the ten largest rivers in the world. The official language is Khmer and the currency is the Riel. Cambodia became indepentend from France in 1953. About 14.5 million people are living in this country. Unfortunately Cambodia is due to long lasting civil war one of the poorest countries in the world.
