Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Very quiet city, lovely people but very poor. One girl invited me to her house to meet her family. They lived a very simple life.Travel around Cambodia is tricky, not many roads and those that exist are mainly bumpy dirt tracks. Transport mailyn motorbikes, so i was always on htese on the really bad roads with no protective clothing and often 3 on the bike. I did see a horrendous accident invloving 7 people and motorbikes and all 7 were covered in blood and in a very bad way...the ambulance took half an hour to arrive! Sort of scared me a bit.

Even more depressing, I went to visit the killing fields and S-21 prison from the Khmer Rouge period. It was horrendous how so many people in Cambodia for no apparent reason were tortured and killed, the prioson, now turned into a museum, showed the horrors that so many millions of people were put through eg women stripped, tied up and then had their nipples cut off using plyers! Children were tortured and killed, It was horrendous, how a human being could do that to another human being is beyond me.
