| How to be Cambodian - 597 sec Holy shit. It's been over a year since this has been up and I'm quite surprised people are still watching it. And there were a couple of things I already knew what was going to happen once I posted it on youtube and it was this, that a lot of people would watch it, a lot of people will like it, and a lot of people will despise it. Personally, I don't care what people think of this video. I didn't make this video to insult or anger those who follow our rich customs. I didn't make it to get famous or recognized. I only made this video for my Khmer language class because I like making movies and it got me out of doing a writing assignment. It was just something fun to do with my friends. I made this video and I tagged it as "Cambodian" so the only way people found it were either Cambodian or really really bored. So I'm amazed really, how some people could have something so far up their asses that they believe I made this video to humiliate the heritage that our parents and ancestors are proud of. But are we so proud a race that we can't humble ourselves long enough to find humor in the things we do? Are we so proud that we can laugh at the expense of everyone else except our own? No, we're not. Our race is no better nor worse than any others that share this planet with us. And if you truly believe otherwise, consider this. Didn't Adolf Hitler, who believed his race was superior, kill off those he believed were inferior? And if you tell yourself, "I'm not like Hitler, I'd never do anything like that." To this I say to you, an entire war started because one man thought he was better than another. And to everyone else who talk this wild shit about Cambodians blah blah this, blah blah that, keep talking because no one's listening. I don't know how brave a person has to be to type on the keyboard, hiding behind a monitor. Or maybe you're the type of person that can't seem to get it up unless you randomly start shit just to get people riled up. Hey don't go to youtube for that, go to viagara.com. Call a doctor if you stay erect past 6 hours. To all the people who supported me and actually understood what my intentions were, I thank you, I really do. You guys know how to live. To everyone else lacking a sense of humor or at least an understanding of this video, let me tell you, it takes more passion to create something than it does to tear it down.

Thus began a nightmare which saw Cambodian killing Cambodian.
The killings only stopped after Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1979 as a result of a border dispute.
Many people say Vietnam should not have invaded Cambodia. However, history revealed that this act saved the Cambodians from further killings by the Khmer Rouge.
The Vietnamese invasion triggered a war with China at the Viet-Chinese border......but that is another story.

There's a huge discussion of this topic on my blog, http://www.vagabonding.com/travelogue/000060.html
Here's an entry I wrote about this:
Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge, and Genocide in Cambodia
During their three-year, eight-month, and 21-day rule of Cambodia, the Khmer Rouge committed some of the most heinous crimes in modern history:
- The entire population of Cambodia's urban areas was evacuated from their homes and forced to march into rural areas to work the fields.
- Every man, woman, and child was forced into slave labor for 12-15 hours each day.
- An estimated two million people (21% of Cambodia's population) lost their lives. Many of these victims were brutally executed; many more died of starvation, exhaustion, and disease.
That these crimes were committed so recently (1975-1978) makes them all the more sickening. The country's scars are still plainly visible:
- The population is suspiciously youthful (50% is under the age of 15).
- The economy is in shambles. This is partially thanks to the Khmer Rouge's execution of the upper and educated classes. The fact that they destroyed most of the vehicles and machines in the cities can't have helped.
- New human remains turn up around the exhumed mass graves of the Killing Fields of Cheoung Ek on a daily basis. Silent reminders of the tragedy, these bones and teeth are ceremoniously placed into makeshift shrines in tree hollows and cement planters.
It's hard to comprehend the motivations behind an atrocity like the Cambodian genocide. What could have been going through the minds of the Khmer Rouge officers and their leader Pol Pot?
"Hey Pol, I've got an idea, man. Let's turn the country upside down and get real primitive. Evacuate all the cities, march everyone out to the country. And then start farming, man! Big time. And if anyone resists, let's execute them. In fact, let's kill a whole lot of people. I'm talking hundreds of thousands. Maybe millions. And do it real cruel-like. Bash their heads against trees, electrocute 'em, drown 'em in vats of cold water..."
Fear must have been the prevailing motivator in the regime. How could an officer commit such monstrous crimes against his own countrymen? For fear that something even worse would happen to him.
The Khmer Rouge atrocity seems to follow a time-honored recipe for genocide: the obsessive desire to reach a religious or political ideal coupled with a healthy dose of madness.
Why don't we learn? It seems as if past atrocities of genocide haven't served as a warning, but instead as a blueprint for how to repeat them.
But if history has proven human beings to be intrinsically fallible, it has also proven us to be extraordinarily resilient. Pol Pot cast a heavy shadow over Cambodia, but the people have managed to persevere, begin anew, and find joy in life again.

Thanks for all your wonderful comments! But the message of the day has to go to Pat! Pat, your message to Lyda is very inspiring! She says thank you!
ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
Albsolutely a beautiful rendition of a deep and moving song
from the heart sung by beautiful and sincere voice from a deep and soulful person. I have read some of the tasteless
and improper comments about your friend. These people do not appreciate this rare voice which is gift. My regards to your friend Lyda Sinn and keep on singing. Listening to this song is always a blessing for what it expresses about the human spirit. The bio about your friend was also interesting. Like a glittering aural diamond,Lyda was formed in humble circumstrances. Again regards; Pat Tidman
------------------------------------
This is Sinn Lyda singing her version of Unchained Melody. Though i would like to clear things up that she had lost her voice days prior to this. She had told this to the Khmer Angels earlier on the show. She looks unsure of herself in the beginning if you notice but later goes on to finish the song beautifully. She posesses an amazing rich tone of voice if you ask me. This is still pretty impressive. check her out on www.myspace.com/lydasing ..thnx for all your comments and please support your fellow Cambodian artists Auteur : coocoosing Tags: Cambodian Khmer singer music long beach lyda sing sinn sinnsisamoth unchained melody  | | Cambodian theatre troupe raises AIDS awareness among... - 133 sec UNICEF correspondent Steve Nettleton reports on a Cambodian theatre troupe that performs for young people to help educate them about protection against HIV/AIDS Credits: Producer:Steve Nettleton Auteur : unicef Tags:news cambodian theatre troupe raises aids  | | Human Weapon Cambodian Bloodsport 1/5 - 538 sec Images of Bokator, the martial art of ancient Cambodia, can be seen depicted in bas-relief on the walls of Angkor Wat, the famous temple located in northwest Cambodia, in the capital of the once mighty Khmer empire. A hand-to-hand combat system used by the ancient Angkorean army, Bokator played a crucial role in Angkorean domination of much of the Southeast Asian mainland from around 800 A.D. until the early 15th century.
Thailand, then Siam, defeated Angkor in 1431, beginning a long struggle with Vietnam over control of the Khmer kingdom, before France intervened in 19th century and proclaimed a protectorate over the region. Greater turmoil struck Cambodia in the mid- to late-20th century, when the Khmer Rouge Communist army seized the country's largest city, Phnom Penh. Some 2 million people were killed during the subsequent dictatorship of Pol Pot, and the violent influence of the Khmer Rouge continued well into the 1990s.
Though the tradition of Bokator was nearly lost during the bloody Khmer Rouge era it was revived in recent years with the return of relative peace to the region. In 2001, one of the sport's grand masters, Sam Kim Saen, returned to Cambodia some 20 years after fleeing the Khmer Rouge. He and other Bokator teachers worked to revive the ancient art, holding the first Bokator conference in Phnom Penh in 2004. The sport soon spread to other provinces of Cambodia, and the first national championships were held at Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh in the fall of 2006.
Bokator fighters, known as yuthkhun, train in a wide variety of styles, each based on the fighting motions of a particular animal. Monkey, lion, elephant, crocodile, crab, horse, bird and dragon are only a few of the hundreds of different fighting styles. Instead of belts, Bokator uses colored kramas, or scarves to indicate the fighter's level. In Bokator, any part of the body can be used as a weapon, including fingers, hips, jaws and shoulders. Techniques in Bokator include strikes, throws, trapping, locking, grappling and ground-fighting, as well as sword and stick maneuvers (more) (less)
