The land is verdant, the vegetation lush.
Water is plentiful and forests stretch for as far as the eye can see.
Cattle graze peacefully here and there, and water buffalo amble along a dusty track towards seemingly endless rice fields glimmering in the morning sun. Somewhere nearby, the laughter of children drifts on the still morning air. In this tranquil setting, all is well with the world. It was not always so - because this is Cambodia. It was only two years ago that civil strife was finally set aside.
