What do people in other Countries know and think about Cambodia?

Cambodia is a developing country in Asia. I think people who have never visited Cambodia and live in a country far away know about Cambodia much as well as tradition. They know Cambodia in many ways like knowing by Angkor Wat temple. They might think that Cambodian food is spicy like Thailand, or Vietnamese food. I think people who live in Asia continent could describe Cambodian food well. In fact, Vietnamese and Thai copied our traditional food such as Khmer noodle(Nom Ben Jok), Cambodia curry (Amok). Foreigners would know about popular fruits and vegetables. Cambodian like to mix vegetable in food. Vegetable that we like use are cucumber, tomato, salad and garlic. Cambodian usually deserve fruits like mango, pine-apple, water melon after eating food. I think foreigners would know Apsara dance because it's shown on every important events like country friendly meetings or traditional art ceremony. And it was drawn on Angkor Wat walls. European and Australian would think Cambodian weather is hot because their weather is colder than Asia country. I think they would see Cambodia on map because this country isn't small like Singapore. Phnom Penh is heart of the Cambodia economic system because international airport of Cambodia and we need to get through this capital city to go to others provinces. Prime Minister of Cambodia is famous now because he usually friendly meet with other countries' Prime Minister. And usually be seen in important issue. They might also know about some Khmer words like chom reap sour(formal greeting word) in English means hi or hello.
