2.5 STREET - Rise & Fall of a Community Art Space in Battambang
The video 2.5 Street is part of a multi-media installation by Alfred Banze, which was conceived and produced during his artist residency at Sammaki Community Art Space in Battambang / Cambodia (February 2016). In the framework of his participatory art project, the Berlin artist has created large drawings and video clips, in direct cooperation with young local colleagues and art students. The works follow personal stories from the Sammaki Community Art Space (2011 - 2016), which will close its doors in the coming months. The exhibition is meant as a personal but also collective poetic reflection on global phenomena such as social and cultural transformations, exoticism in the 21st century and the everyday failure of artistic escapism. The exhibition runs until 17th March 2016.
Realized in cooperation with Sammaki Community Artspace, Bayman Team, Meta House Phnom Penh, Camping Akademie e.V. - Supported by the Berlin Senate Cultural Affairs Department and the German Embassy in Cambodia. alfred-banze.de

Street Foods at Samaki Market Krong Stung Treng in Cambodia | Morning Life at Stung Treng Province
I walked to Samaki market at Krong Stung Treng in the morning to see what they have there. It's like other market at downtown in Cambodia as they have foods, drinks, snacks, clothes, shoes, fresh meats, desserts, pickled fruits...etc. I noticed and what i like is Nom Ansorm Chrook (rice with pork in the middle wrapped by banana's leaves). They also have Noodles in buckets, many kinds of Khmer desserts, they served breakfast, many kind of street foods and others. Most vendors are Khmer but some are Lao and Vietnamese. It's a good idea for tourists as if you don't want to spend a lot of money at the restaurant and want to pack foods, you can visit Samaki market to have breakfast and pack foods for picnic lunch. Samaki market is in Krong Stung Treng, Stung Treng Province, Cambodia.
Thank you very much for watching. Please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE this video to all Khmers and the world.
Your support is a huge encouragement for me as a Khmer to continue sharing the tourist attraction places and lifestyles in Cambodia to all Khmer and the World and bring more tourists to Cambodia.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Cambodia ( (listen); also Kampuchea ; Khmer: កម្ពុជា Khmer: [kam.pu.ciə]; French: Cambodge), officially the Kingdom of Cambodia (Khmer: ព្រះរាជាណាចក្រកម្ពុជា, prĕəh riəciənaacak kampuciə, IPA: [prĕəh riə.ciə.naː.caʔ kam.pu.ciə]; French: Royaume du Cambodge), is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is 181,035 square kilometres (69,898 square miles) in area, bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest.
The sovereign state of Cambodia has a population of over 16 million. The official religion is Theravada Buddhism, practised by approximately 95 percent of the population. The country's minority groups include Vietnamese, Chinese, Chams and 30 hill tribes. The capital and largest city is Phnom Penh, the political, economic and cultural centre of Cambodia. The kingdom is an elective constitutional monarchy with a monarch, currently Norodom Sihamoni, chosen by the Royal Throne Council as head of state. The head of government is the Prime Minister, currently Hun Sen, the longest serving non-royal leader in Southeast Asia, ruling Cambodia since 1985.
In 802 AD, Jayavarman II declared himself king, uniting the warring Khmer princes of Chenla under the name Kambuja. This marked the beginning of the Khmer Empire, which flourished for over 600 years, allowing successive kings to control and exert influence over much of Southeast Asia and accumulate immense power and wealth. The Indianised kingdom facilitated the spread of first Hinduism and then Buddhism to much of Southeast Asia and undertook many religious infrastructural projects throughout the region, including the construction of more than 1,000 temples and monuments in Angkor alone. Angkor Wat is the most famous of these structures and is designated as a World Heritage Site.
After the fall of Angkor to Ayutthaya in the 15th century, a reduced and weakened Cambodia was then ruled as a vassal state by its neighbours. In 1863, Cambodia became a protectorate of France, which doubled the size of the country by reclaiming the north and west from Thailand.
Cambodia gained independence in 1953. The Vietnam War extended into the country with the US bombing of Cambodia from 1969 until 1973. Following the Cambodian coup of 1970 which installed the right-wing pro-US Khmer Republic, the deposed king gave his support to ...
