Program Description:
Once the strongest country in southeast Asia,  Cambodia is now focused on recovery, after decades of civil war.  Rich in natural resources, Cambodia has lush rice fields, mountainous and coastal areas, and an increasingly modern, Phnom Penh City.  We will explore the history and culture of Cambodia, including the practice of Buddhism and the Khmer Rouge period, through lecture and field trips.  We will spend several days exploring the World Heritage site, Angkor Wat temples.  The busy and always amazing Phnom Penh street life and wonderful new foods and tropical fruits offer a continuous sensory feast!  
Estimated Course Fee: $3,710
