What is the living environment like in Cambodia?

As someone who has lived there for 4 years, let me explain my experience - there are only two seasons in Cambodia, the dry season and the rainy season, and the average temperature is between 24 and 34 degrees. But the strange thing is that except for the local monks, no local people use umbrellas. The local people believe in Buddhism and are very devout. In many families, one man will become a monk, but after a few years they will return to secular life, get married and have children. Cambodia is a Buddhist country with no death penalty, so the police do not play much role in maintaining law and order. I personally recommend not to go out with belongings after 7 pm, but some places are quite fun at night, and the casinos are relatively famous. There are many NAGA, bars, and cafes. Because it was colonized by France and there are many foreign populations from all over the world, the locals have developed the lazy habit of enjoying life. Local people are very enthusiastic about parties. They often get off work early to hire people to dress up and put on makeup, and then put on evening gowns to participate in various parrty. Especially for local wedding parties, locals will wear special costumes or gorgeous evening clothes to attend. There will be dancing, singing, etc. during the banquet, which is quite lively and fun. However, I would like to remind foreigners who are not used to local food that it is best to eat something to satisfy their stomach before participating. The dishes are all very small and unique, so foreigners may not be able to accept them. The diet is very diverse. As mentioned earlier, there is a large immigrant population, so their diet is also diverse. If you are Chinese, you can go to places like "Old Place", "Little Red House", "Wang Shang Wang", "Big Big, Little Little" etc. It's Chinese food. There is also the Mekong River, the mother river of Cambodia. There are many restaurants along the river, including Western food and local specialties. The local diet is mostly based on raw food. There are quite a lot of cold and raw foods, but they also have weird specialties---fried spiders, cockroaches, crickets, smelly fish, etc., as well as fried bananas and grilled bananas. . . At night in front of the Independence Monument or the Royal Palace, you can see vendors selling duck eggs (duck eggs that have not yet been hatched). When you go to Cambodia, you can find that there are many tropical fruits that cannot be seen in China. Some are available in China, and the varieties are not necessarily the same. For example, mangoes are not sour when eaten. They are eaten with local seasonings-pepper and salt. Sweet and crunchy. I personally don’t think food consumption is more expensive than in China. In terms of housing, long-term residents should rent a house. Renting a house depends on the location. If they are in Phnom Penh, the capital, you can rent a single room for US$50. My colleague used this price to rent a house with air conditioning and furniture. Of course, this is the choice of working people. If the economy is good, you can rent a quite luxurious villa for US$1,000. If you are staying for a short time, you can stay in a hotel, which is much cheaper than in China. You can stay in their "Phnom Penh Hotel" standard room for 50 US dollars, and you can stay in a 4-star hotel for 40 US dollars. In terms of local tourism, there are several good places in Cambodia. When you arrive in Cambodia, you must go to Angkor Wat to see this religious temple that was discovered after sleeping for more than 800 years, and to experience the superb carving skills of the Cambodian people at that time. Look at the thousands of Erawan Buddhas and experience what "Khmer's smile" means. In addition, you can also go to "GONG BONG SAO" to play. The sea water is crystal clear and the seafood is as abundant as rice. You can eat and play at the same time. In addition, you must see the royal palace where the king lives. The ticket price seems to be 6 to 7 US dollars, I don’t remember exactly. I can't think of anything else right now, so I'll leave it to others to add. . . I wish you a happy life in Cambodia~~~hehe
