Lonely Planet's Cambodiaguidebook starts off with a respectably comprehensive narrative about the kingdom and it's six thousand year old
history, and at 19 pages long, this is actually the single lengthiest topical section within the book - by almost double. Which is fortunate,because it's also one of the most valuable, and a careful read-through will give any prospective traveller of cambodia (whether as a backpacker, classic tourist, or luxury-hunter) a thorough understanding of why things are the way they are in the magical kingdom of Cambodia.

Ontario, in eastern Canada, is a musical melting pot when it comes to traditional music, taking influences from settlers from England, Scotland, Ireland, Sweden, Hungary, and Germany, to name but a few, along with music from the First Peoples who lived in the area before all those folk came along. It’s also a musical crossroads within Canada, for the country sounds of the plains to the west, Quebecois nearby, and Cape Breton to the east.
