I’m spending some time in the capital of Cambodia. It was a 6.5h bus ride to get here from Siem Reap. I stayed the first night in Okay Guesthouse, the following two nights in Burly Guesthouse, and the next night in Spring Guesthouse.
I visited the Killing Fields, a site of mass graves of thousands of people who were killed in the 1970’s here. As a reminder they have hundreds of skulls stacked up in a monument building and you walk around them a few inches away. I also visited the S-21 prison where these same people were held as prisoners. You could see torture rooms and crude jail cells which featured the prisoner’s ankle chained to the wall.
I visited the Royal Palace, Wat Phnom, the Central Market, the Russian Market. I tried pizza one night. Not bad $7 for a large supreme. I’m hoping to meet up with the new Finnish travelers soon.
