According to the United Nations, genocide is “committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group” (“What is Genocide?”). All genocides should be perceived as a serious crime against humanity, regardless of the number of people who perished. Still, while some genocides like the Holocaust are

A Little History That Ex-Pats Should Know Cambodia has a rich history going back at least five thousand years. However, it was an experiencing a Dark Age from the 1400s until 1863. This Dark Age ended when the French came in and established a protectorate. Over time, this situation changed and Cambodia became a French colony.

When we chose Cambodia as our country I was really excited to learn more about the country as I had spent some time in the region. The summer after my sophomore year of High School I spent the summer in Thailand. During this summer I learned so much about South East Asian culture and I was excited to see how my (limited) knowledge of Thailand compared to what I was to learn about Cambodia.
