Cambodia
has seemed more arid and dusty despite the mightyMekong the farmingdoes not seem to be as popular or significant asVietnam (2nd largestexporter of rice after Thailand, ppopulation 80M).There is a lot ofreliance on tourism trade. this creates a lot ofpressure on touristsbeing approached a lot for buying refreshments,post cards and allsorts of souveniers mostly by young whinning childrenwhich is quiteupsetting and also irritating as there is only so muchyou can buy evenif you wanted to. The attitude feels a little lessdignified than theViet or may be they dont have the tourist trade thatCambodia attractsdue to the temples.

People appear a little more serious/indifferent/rexerved than the Viet, darker in skin colouration, shorter and less lean too.
