Today, we walked a lot of Phnom Penh to have a good look around. We visited a beautiful temple with no other tourists in sight! We passed the independence monument and had the lunchtime special in a lovely restaurant called The Cyclo. On to the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, not so lovely, but a must see. The museum is the former prison of the Khmer Rouge, where thousands of innocent and well educated people were tortured and killed. Many other people faced their end at the notorious Killing Fields and were thrown into mass graves. A very sombre but interesting visit and this all happened in our life time! WHY WAS THIS EVER ALLOWED TO HAPPEN?!
