I agree with you Clara. It makes me happy when I see people like you trying to reach out to others.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten son. That whosoever beleives in him will have eternal life.
-John 3:16

Speaking of long words, did you know there is a phobia of long words? It's called hippopotamonstrosiscupidaliophobia; it's a really long word.

I looked it up. It is the longest in the ENGLISH dictionary. Maybe it wasn't english.

@ Clara

Supercalafregelisticexpalidocioc is something to say when theres nothing to say. It is from the movie Mary Poppins.

I think that pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
is the longest word I know. It's a lung disease caused by the inhalation of silica dust.

Ya I knew that It is the longest word in the dictionary. I saw it on a show!

Deepa Gopal's picture
Deepa Gopal May 2, 2012 - 5:20pm

Yes, it is. Jacki is right! And it is the longest at 45 letters.

It refers to a lung disease caused by silica (a metal) particles.

@ Jacki
Did you memorize how to spell that, or where you just guessing?

Jacki's picture
Jacki May 4, 2012 - 9:49am

I won't lie...I copied and pasted. =P Someday I hope I'll achieve my lifelong dream of being able to both spell and pronounce it off the top of my head!

What state do you live in? I live in Texas. Let me tell you, it must be the hottest place on earth. It can get to be over 100 degrees.

I was born in Colorado, but i live in Cambodia now..(Asia) CAmbodia never reaches anything under 70 degrees.... It is right by the equator! It is so humid that it makes the heat feel worse!\ It gets up to 109 degrees during hot season! (P.s that is from January to May)
adella's picture
adella May 1, 2012 - 6:55am

Thats a coincidence! I was born in Colorado too.
We moved to Texas when I was 14 months old. My brother was a week old.
Texas is VERY humid too. It is so hot. This winter the lowest it got was 50 degrees. Everyone here thought it was freezing.
I think that is so weird because in other places it gets much cooler than that.

On the other hand, what is everyday life like in Cambodia?

Clara Roberts's picture
Clara Roberts May 1, 2012 - 5:57pm
Well, it has a weird weather schedule. From January to May is Hot season, From June to August is Hot/Dry season From August to November is rainy season december is cold season (70 degrees here is COLD!) Then December into January is rainy and cold season! :) Cambodia is nothing like Colorado.. It has a corrupt government and many people who live on pieces of land that does not belong to them. There are Buddhist temples and monks walk all over the city. Before the Khmer Rouge happened, ti was called the Pearl Of Asia for is beauty. But because of Pol Pot, it turned into a dump. You wont see a lot of old people here because most of them died during the labour camps. But last year, Cambodia had another big death thing. There was a stampede on "Diamond Bridge" now known as Death bridge. Up to 600 and more people died! And most of them were girls.:( They were to weak to stop all the bodys falling on top of them and crushing them...:( Yeah anymore questions i will answer! :)

Whoa, that's really cool! What's school like there?

Clara Roberts's picture
Clara Roberts May 2, 2012 - 6:30pm

I am homeschooled...
But there are about four large British or American schools here. (International)
My older brothers go there.

adella May 2, 2012 - 1:47pm

Right now it is 83 out side and I was getting a headache because it was hot. MY friend told me, "This isn't hot. In the middle of summer you will think it is freezing cold."

Buddhist is a different religion right? Is it weird that there are monks walking everywhere? Do they ever stop and talk to people?

In Cambodia, do they have big skyscrapers and stuff like that, or is it just like a little town?

Clara Roberts's picture
Clara Roberts May 2, 2012 - 6:35pm

Buddhism is Cambodia's top religion..
The monks walk around to have people bow to them, pray to them and give them money...

There are about five skyscrapers but only like two are really nice..:)
Phnom Pehn is the capital of Cambodia.
Yes it is big and yes it is poor.
No offense, but when tourists come here, they take pictures of the poor and homeless children as if they were a some kind of animal at a zoo.

adella's picture
adella May 3, 2012 - 6:14am
That is so sad for the homeless children. I can't believe people do that. Do people actually bow to the monks?
Clara Roberts's picture
Clara Roberts May 3, 2012 - 5:18pm

Yes, i see it all over the place...
They chant words to the monks and put money in their bag.
Monks have to shave their head and not get married...
And some parents send their boys to the temples to learn to be Monks.

It is so sad how many poor people give the little money they have to
monks who take it to the temples and use it their.

Is there anything people like me can do to help?

Clara Roberts's picture
Clara Roberts May 4, 2012 - 4:26pm
One of the most helpful things to do, is to Pray! Also, if the people are REALLY more, they give rice or some food instead of money...
adella's picture
adella May 5, 2012 - 7:14am
Okay. I will pray. Are there any Christian churches set up there?
Clara Roberts's picture
Clara Roberts May 6, 2012 - 5:44am
Yes there is> :) And there are mission teams who set up churches in the provinces. Mt church has a Khmer Service and a English Service.
