Durante el ascenso por el rio Mekong, dejamos atrás Vietnam para entrar en Camboya.

Phnom Penh es su Capital. La historia reciente de este país es realmente cruel. Durante el Genocidio llevado a cabo por los Jemeres Rojos, hubo un exterminio masivo de civiles, que redujo la población de Camboya de 7,5 a 6 millones de habitantes.

De hecho, el conflicto acabó recientemente. No fue hasta la muerte de Pol Pot en 1998 que los Jemeres Rojos que quedaban se rindieron.

Actualmente, este país esta en reconstrucción de todo lo destruido tanto material como lo no material. Su población, la gran mayoría menor de 30 años, vive y trabaja con ilusión para levantarlo. No obstante, existen todavía temas deleznables como la prostitución de menores, hecho evidente en la Capital entre los turistas y niñas adolescentes.

Going upriver the Mekong River, we left Vietnam to enter Cambodia.

Phnom Penh is its Capital. The recent history of this country is really cruel. During the Genocide carried out by Khmer Rouge, there was a mass extermination of civilians, which reduced the population of Cambodia from 7.5 to 6 million.

In fact, the conflict ended recently. It was not until Pol Pot's death in 1998 that the remaining Khmer Rouge surrendered.

Currently, this country is in reconstruction of everything destroyed both material and non-material. Its population, the great majority under 30, lives and works with enthusiasm to raise it. Nonetheless, there are still topics such as prostitution of minors, a fact evident in the Capital between tourists and adolescent girls.
