I love our Khmer traditional. It does not matter some o fus are Buddhists, Christians, Muslims or Jews, we keep our traditional, I am proud of it.
Hi Ki-Media,
I would suggest you to write PHCHUM BEN not PCHUM BEN
2:41AM,
Think it over about your comment.
It's not 100% true, but I like this German proverb. It seems to fit neary Khmer: "A woman without religion is as a flower without scent." Strei del khmean chumnoeur ning sasna brieb dauch bopha del khmean kunthea.

He misspelled "o fus" should be "of us". We readers understand what he meant.
keep in mind that cambodia is a very religious country. do respect local culture is the key to them liking you. god bless cambodia.

Cambodia is a very religious country, but most of the people of Cambodia are atheists. The Cambodians have faith in themselves, their power and irrational thoughts, those are their true religions. They are not Buddhists or the people who follow Buddha's teachings.
