However, tragedy has struck a recent Water Festival. Over 300 were killed in a stampede caused by unknown reasons, resulting in what Prime Minister Hun Sen described as the greatest tragedy in Cambodian history since the Pol Pot regime. Taking place on November 22, 2010 the panicked crowd tried to escape a small island via a tiny bridge, resulting in the trampling of some and a fall into the river for others. || Traditional clothing Western-style clothing is fairly popular in Cambodia, though the clothing is not always modern. || Traditional foods There are two basic foods in Cambodia: Rice and Soup. Soup contains any combination of fish, eggs, vegetables, meat, and spicy broth. Rice is eaten at every meal. Flavors vary depending on the region it came from. Cambodia was once known as the "cradle of rice" for the amount and varieties it grew. Today the nation is trying to reclaim the title it held before the '70s. || Sources
