Cambodia
Today we read about an Immigrant family who had lived in America for a long time and were going back to live in Cambodia. Before reading we did an Internet search to find out about Cambodia. It is a country in the South East of Asia, next to Vietnam. 1975 was a very bad time for the Cambodians.
There was a civil war and then Pol Pot decided that he wanted everyone to be the same and work on the farms. He forced everyone to leave the cities. Everyone had to walk out including the old and the sick.
Civilian deaths in this period, from executions, disease, exhaustion and Starvation,have been estimated at well over two million people. This was more than a quarter of all Cambodians.
If you go to Cambodia now you can go to a museum and see thousands of skulls.

My Profile
People are different. I believe that it is impossible to find two persons that are exactly the same. What is the difference between me and millions of people in the world? There are many things that make me different. For example, I am very interested in meeting new people and I like to communicate with others. I always meet new friends when I visit any place. Another thing that makes me different is that I love reading about medical topics. I usually buy the books that carry medical titles when I visit different book stores. I think that these are the most two important points to make me different from other people.
