Cambodian Culture: Cambodian Performing Arts Cambodian Tradition: Khmer Culture About the Cambodian Performing Arts! There are two types of dance in the Cambodian performing dance repertory: The Court Dance or sometime called Classical dance and the Folk Dance. Cambodian Classical Dance or Court Dance of Cambodia has been enhanced for over a thousand years. The dance is a continuation of the legendary myth expressed by the celestial dancers, Apsara. Apsara dancers are carved on the walls of the Angkor temples. Most of the Classical dances are like Western plays. It is a show that tells stories usually taken from Ramayana. Traditionly women play the roles of king, queen, prince, princess, and demon. The monkey (Hanuman) is always played by men. The costumes, headdresses, masks, movements and gestures identify the characters. In classical dance, there are over four thousand five hundred-body movements, that Cambodian call "Kbach". The dance movements are continuously taught to the dancers throughout their career by Cambodian dance masters. Most professional dancers started when they were five years old and perfectly mastered the technique by average age of thirty. They started with less complicate body movement like those of children's pieces such as the Robam Bopha Lorkei to the most beautiful and gentle like in Robam Apsara. The last dance learned is the complex Demon Kbach.

    Extractions: Interactive Geographic Database (CGEO) At most of the sites containing mass graves, CGP researchers also identified Khmer Rouge-era prison facilities at or near the mass grave site. This fact, along with witness testimony and records of the Khmer Rouge security services obtained by the CGP, leads us to conclude that most mass graves hold the remains of victims of centrally-organized violence, rather than of other causes of death such as disease or starvation. In addition to mass grave pits and prison facilities, the CGP has also mapped the locations of memorials erected since 1979 in remembrance of Khmer Rouge victims. Interactive Geographic Database A major product of the CGP's mapping project is a powerful interactive computerized mapping database of the Killing Fields. The software enables users to search Cambodian provincial and local geography for hundreds of sites of former Khmer Rouge prisons and extermination camps, mass graves of the victims, and memorials. Provincial Killing Fields Maps Our Geographic Database also contains 22 new digital maps of provincial killing fields from the Khmer Rouge period. We have created a map for each of 22 provinces with mass graves, memorials, and DK-era prison sites. All sites have been geo-referenced and ground-truthed (see

Kampong Som is a city under a separate administration like the other Regions. The Regions or cities under separate administrations are directly controlled by the State Organization, not via any Zone. At the same time, we have created certain new districts, including Koh Chey (formerly called Preah Sdech District), Krasaing District in the Eastern Zone, Taing Kok and Baray districts in the Northern Zone, Choam Sangke in the Southwest Zone, Thmar Sar in the Western Zone, and Kandieng, Kdat, Thlea Ma-am, and Samlot, in the Northwest Zone. Our six zones are the Northeast Zone, Eastern Zone, Southwest Zone, Western Zone, Northern Zone, and Northwest Zone. We do not establish a zone for each province, and thus each of certain zones consist of two or more provinces. For example, we have combined all of Svay Rieng and Prey Veng together with part of Kampong Cham province located on the left bank of the Mekong to form the Eastern zone.

There are two distinct seasons, the dry and the monsoon. The monsoon lasts from May to October with southwesterly winds ushering in the clouds that bring seventy five to eighty percent of the annual rainfall often in spectacular intense bursts for an hour at a time a with fantastic lightening displays. The dry season runs from November to April averaging temperatures for 27 to 40 degrees Celsius. The coolest and most comfortable for those from cooler climes is from October to January. Climate Data in Phnom Penh Current Weather in Cambodia Language Top The Cambodian language, Khmer, is part of the Mom-Khmer family and has its origins in Pali and Sanskrit. It is spoken all over the country except in some tribal areas where local indigenous languages are used. In larger towns and cities English is spoken by an increasing number of educated people. French is spoken by some of the older members of society and Chinese by many of the business people. All facilities catering to tourists employ English speaking staff who more often than not speak several other local and international languages including German, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese and even Russian.

Before 1970 Cambodia was fairly rich in natural and agricultural resources. Cambodia, unlike most Southeast Asian countries, enjoyed a stable export business and shipped rice, rubber, coal, and cotton worldwide. Many people lived in small villages near waterways, the majority working in agriculture. Traditionally, high status was given only to Buddhist monks and important government officials. Traditional values included a strong family identity, respect for ancestors and the past and a desire for smooth interpersonal relationships, i.e., nonconfrontational in disagreement, tolerance for ambiguity, and willingness to accept things the way they were (Kinzie, Fredrickson, Ben, Fleck and Karls, 1984).

    Extractions: Mini-Unit Subtopic: Cambodian New Year Grade Level: Author: Kathy Moss Background: Cambodia is a country located in South-East Asia. On some maps it is referred to by its former name, Kampuchea (kam-poo-CHEE-uh). It is mostly flat land with a few mountains on the southern border. Some of the countries surrounding Cambodia are Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Malaysia. The capital of Cambodia is Phnom Penh (puh NAWM pen). Khmer (cah'MY) is the official language. The population is 7.1 million people. Cambodia has undergone conflict and invasions for several years. Because of these wars, hundreds of thousands of educated people have fled the country to find safety. With the loss of so many skilled workers the country has been weakened. As a result of this loss Cambodia is very poor. Agriculture is a way of life in Cambodia. There are many small farms and plantations. Many farmers harvest rice. Cambodia is also one of the major world producers and exporters of rubber. The people of Cambodia are concerned about the well-being of others. Helping one another is a custom of the South-East Asian people. The main religion of Cambodia is Buddhism. With this religion comes the belief that one can be freed from the pain and suffering of the world through righteous thinking and living. Buddhists believe that a person's life in the hereafter will be better if they fill their present life with good conduct and good deeds. The Buddhist monks teach them how to live a moral life and aid them in understanding the teachings of Buddha. Cambodian families often go to the Temple to pray to Buddha. Many families have small altars in their homes where they can pray to Buddha and their ancestors.

It is bordered by Myanmar (Burma), Lao People's Democratic Republic, Cambodia and Malaysia, and has 2,420 kilometres of coast line on the Gulf of Thailand and the Andaman sea. Thailand stretches 1,650 kilometres from north to south, and from east to west 780 kilometres at its widest point. For economic, social and ecological reasons, Thailand is usually classified into four geographical regions. They are: the central region (including Bangkok Metropolitan Region) comprising the basin of the Chao Phrya River which runs from north to south and after crossing Bangkok flows to the Gulf of Thailand. The central region is often called the "rice bowl" of Thailand being the most fertile area of the country. After the Bangkok Metropolitan Region, it enjoys the highest per capita income in the country. The northern region is mountainous and was traditionally the most heavily forested area of the country. In the recent years, however, overcutting has considerably reduced its forest resources. The main centres of population are in the narrow alluvial valleys along the four north-south flowing rivers which unite in the northern central plain to form the Chao Phraya.

Of the 6,000 or so languages in the world, most are spoken by small tribal groups and only about 12-15 are used in a widespread fashion in international trade and politics. The rest are national languages of the dominant culte in any given nation except in Africa and the Americas, where the official national languages are often that of their former European colonialists. In the recent past, of course, 'English' has become the accepted international language of trade.
