Cambodia has held a special appeal

Cambodia has held a special appeal for foreigners. Many of the journalists, tourists and diplomats who visited it in the 1950s and '60s wrote of an idyllic, antique land unsullied by the brutalities of the modern world. Phnom Penh was, it is true, an exquisite riverine city, and its fine white and yellow-ochre buildings, charming squares and café is lent it a French provincial charm that gave it a considerable edge over its tawdry neighbors Bangkok and Saigon. It had not been overwhelmed by the pressures of trade and war; its population was only about 600,000, and there was little sign of the shanty towns of Coca-Cola- can slums in which Thai and Vietnamese peasants eked out a miserable existence. The huge covered market was stacked high with local produce- vegetables, rice and dozens of kinds of fish caught in the many waters of the land. And the countryside, where 90 percent of the people lived in villages built around their Buddhist temples seemed, if anything, even more attractive than the capital.

柬埔寨特别呼吁外国人。在20世纪50年代和60年代访问过这里的许多记者、游客和外交官都写下了一片田园诗般的古色古香的土地，没有现代世界的残暴。的确，金边是一座精致的沿河城市，其精致的白色和黄色赭石建筑、迷人的广场和咖啡馆使其具有法国省级的魅力，使其比其俗气的邻国曼谷和西贡更具优势。它并没有被贸易和战争的压力所淹没，它的人口只有大约600000，而且几乎没有迹象表明，可口可乐-贫民窟里的贫民窟里，泰国和越南的农民过着悲惨的生活。巨大的有盖市场上堆满了当地的农产品——蔬菜、大米和几十种在这片土地的许多水域捕获的鱼。而农村，90%的人居住在寺庙周围的村庄里，似乎比首都更有吸引力。
