October 2009

We rode a van from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh, the capital city of the Kingdom of Cambodia. I took us six hours to reach our destination. We stayed at the house of a Filipino missionary family in Phnom Penh for two nights.

We first visited the killing field during the Khmer Rouge regime. It was not far from the city.

I cried when we walked around the field and saw where the people were killed and buried.

We also visited Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum. It was a former high school but was used as the notorious Security Prison 21 during the Khmer Rouge regime. We watched a sad documentary before leaving the place.

We then capped off the day with a river cruise on the Mekong River.
