we first moved into a Gusethouse and are then gone off to explore the city.
has especially loved the 'Wat Phnom,' which was totally crowded due to the Chinese New Year, but this was particularly interesting. Also liked us, the National Library, but was higher standard for our inheritances rather sparse, but still had its charm.
The 'Central' market is particularly worth noting everything from souvenirs, clothes, food, DVDs, etc had to offer, the tourist heart desires. We too have done it and we bought some.
The next day was marked by the historian. Thus we have the 'Toul Sleng' Museum or 'S-21' visited. This is a former prison of the 'Khmer Rouge'. Here, opponents of the regime, and intellectuals have been imprisoned and tortured. This was a very oppressive place, as these these atrocities are still quite young. The many photos of the victims, who were particularly shocked us have them there, as was represented by the baby to the elderly each age group.
Then we drove out of town to the 'Killing Fields', the place where the prisoners were executed. In the middle stands a large monument, filled with Skulls. To this monument can still be seen around the numerous hollows of the former mass graves. What shocked us was the scraps of clothing of the victims, who still were scattered on the grounds.
This in contrast to some in our eyes very perverse tourists who posed grinning in front of the monuments.
like On the whole we Phnom Penh very good.
