Hi Sokha! Cement is the grey powder. When you mix cement with water, sand, and rocks, it dries and becomes Concrete. Concrete is the hard building material! 🧱

No, they are different! Cotton comes from the cotton plant (it is very soft). Linen comes from the flax plant (it is stronger and cooler for hot weather, but wrinkles easily). Both are great for Cambodian weather though! 👕
