Phnom Penh and the Killing Fields
Had a rough couple of days in there, came down with a case of the gut rot and had to skip our bus trip to Phnom Penh so I could hole up and recouperate for a day. Didn't do much so here's a shot of Phuong in front of another thousand year old temple eating something....
This guy was chilling out front of our hotel.
Made it on the bus the next day to the Cambodian capital. There's a place where the communists slaughtered a vast percentage of their own population in the 70's called the killing fields- It's pretty much the saddest thing I've ever seen- where footpaths are paved with human bones and victims clothes still protrude from the ground. There's a monument to all the victims- a massive tower of skulls, many baring the marks from where they were clubbed and stabbed to death. Remember genocide is wrong and if the chance to partake in a massacare ever comes up don't do it. With any luck the perpetrators of this heinous crime against humanity are rotting in hell right now.
Shit ain't funny- no smiling allowed.
