While in Cambodia, we visted the capital Phnom Phen. Cambodia has a very dark and sad recent history. During the 1970's the Khmer Rouge took power and executed approx 200,000 people. They wanted to return to a classless society, so they first started with educated people. As time went on they began to execute there own, killing people who knew too much etc.... Some of the leaders of the Khmer Rouge are actually currently on trial for alot of the atrocities that happened, unfortunately it's nearly 30 years too late.
We went to visit one of the "killing fields" where people were murdered and visted Toul Sleng one of the most notorious prisons in the Khmer Rouge. Some may have seen the famous movie, "The Killing Fields" which takes place during the Khmer Rule in Cambodia.
After we headed to Sinoukville Cambodia to enjoy a little time on the beach. Here are some pics, some are not for the light hearted.
