Cambodia Part I

After a great weekend in Bangkok, I continued to Phnom Penh, Cambodia’s capitol city. The 1st day was dedicated to recovering from a very early flight, so We ventured to the Royal palace and the adjacent temples.

The next day was dedicated to the somber matter of the Khmer Rouge genocide during the mid 1970’s. We went to the “Killing Fields” of Choeung Ek, where countless victims were brought to be murdered and buried in mass graves. After that, we went to the Tuol Sleng Museum, which housed Pol Pot’s Security Prison 21. Walking through the dank cells that once held those unfortunate souls deemed a “threat to the nation” reminded me why I study what I do, and do what I do.
