Phnom Penh Cambodia
The Killing Fields
and
Tuol Sieng Genocide Museum
Up until now you have seen some disturbing pictures and heard horrid tales of killing. The purpose of the Killing Fields, also known as the Choeung Ek Genocide Centre is to record this for the history books so it will never be repeated. Sadly there have been mass killing not far from Cambodia in the former country of Burma now known as Myanmar. The 2017–present Rohingya genocide in Myanmar began on 25 August 2017 when the Myanmar military forces and local Buddhist extremists started attacking.
We walked along the river promenade down the street to the Night Market. Linda. bought two new shirts and Gary bought one, total price $11 USD. We has a fun visit with the lady selling the clothing. She asked how to pronounce (and pointed at a feather on a T-shirt) We tried for several minutes to teach her to say “th” sound as in “the”, “feathers”. Something we take for granted, but it was very difficult for her to place her tongue in the correct position. We all had a good laugh! Her little baby was 2 years, 2 months old and sleeping in the rack of clothing on a hammock. Just totally out of it, in all the noise!
The video below is the partial trip by tuk tuk to the FCC Hotel in Phnom Penh. Everyone drives in random madness ! Sometimes its enough to drive you nuts. There is no road rage here!
