Phnom Pehn is the capital and is Cambodia's largest city, with an estimated 1,000,000 people. It was founded in 1434. In Phnom Pehn, houses resemble those in America. Today, most Cambodians are Buddhist. They do not look on death as the end of a life, but as the beginning of a new and better one.
Most young men become monks for at least six months to a year.
In the mornings they pray and meditate. Then they go out and beg for food. They eat only one meal a day. Monks are very well respected in Cambodia. Music is the most popular art form.
