What do you mean by not too foreign?
You mean the culture shock is not that important?

well, I come from a poor country as well... lets just say it will take a lot to shock me... except for the black-spider looking thing they eat.. that shocked me...

I would say Phnom Penh is just like a major city in the Philippines. it's just like Cebu (dont know if you know this place), where I dont speak the language. that's what makes Phnom Penh familiar to me.

cheers!

yes i agree with helios23 which somebody's background play a major role in adapting certain countries where they've been before.. but mostly countries in SEA are the same i mean the 'culture' + environmental surrounding.. Wink

Hmmm... I would say yes and no.
The culture are of course more likely to be similar than if you compare with South America as an example. The region exchange a lot, should it be culture or goods and therefore the mix is there.

After I sitll think that all countries have its specific culture and you can feel the difference once you stay there long enough and really try to mix witht he locals.
