Phnom Penh, Cambodia November 12th-14th

After drinking beer til 2am with Maarten and losing a fight with local mosquitos, I still managed to get up early enough to go walking the market. We took a tuk tuk to the S-21 Museum, which was truly a moving experince. The atrocities that went on there were just unbelievable. It was so intense that we even didn't feel right taking photographs. I think I maybe took two of the exterior of the buildings. Weird.

The next we journeyed out to The Killing Fields (there is a movie by the same name), and it just added to the sense of horror from the S-21 Museum. Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions murdered in the most horrific of ways. Hard to imagine that it was only thirty years ago.
