Guest Post - Colors of Cambodia
Where I don’t go I’m inspired by friends who do. Dahuang Xu, currently residing in Taiwan travels a lot in Asia. These are his colors of Cambodia and his story.

It is easy to turn an aquarium into fish soup. Reversing the process is much harder.
This is how you simply sum up the declination of the once powerful Khmer Empire.
I visited Cambodia last month. Beneath all the struggle and misery, from wide spread human trafficking, sex labour, poverty and not-so-flattering title “third most mined country in the world” (from years of civil war), I discovered joy, happiness and most important of all, a glimpse of hope.
My aim is to portray Cambodia with a different set of outfit, where colour triumphs over poverty, smiles conquers fear, joy overcomes misery and hope shines over darkness. Pixel by pixel, hoping to create curiosity (and awareness) for Cambodia, since tourism, is a major source of income.
Thanks Monologuer for giving me this much appreciated opportunity,
