S-21 prison... made my stomach go sick actually. There are some pictures of the tortured and dead people. It's a really horrific part of history of Cambodia. The prison was an old school, so now it looks kind of okay, but the pictures remind you what went on there.
Horror, but the S-21 prison and killing fields are a must see when you're in Phnom Penh I guess.
At 11.30 am we went and pick up our visa for Vietnam (they just put your visa anywhere in your pasport in stead of taking the next page :) ). Then a nice and cheap meal somewhere on the road and of to the royal palace. Okay, I get why the ladies need to cover up their shoulders, but here a scarf wasn't good enough. So I had to put on a t-shirt from Ardan with long sleeves, hot I tell you, hot! :)
You also can pick out the russian ladies here: they cover up their shoulders, but you can see the halve of their breasts...Russians...
Strange thing that Cambodian money... They pay with riel and dollars at the same time. But the ATM's don't even give you riel (if the banks don't even want their own currency...). The funny thing is that we always count back from riel to dollars to euro to baht, it takes us a while :-D.
By the way, the tuk tuk drivers aren't only with a million in Bangkok, they're here also... Although we must say, we find them funny here, and we didn't anymore in Bangkok.

Het verwonderd mij dat Toon niet gereageerd heeft op het ontbreken van foto's van die russische dames.Nog 7 maanden en 22 dagen te gaan voor ons

De pracht en praal van het paleis steken schril af tegen het oorlogsverleden en vele leed van velen.Misschien is dit verleden nog steeds voelbaar in het hele land? of kom je nog in "luchtigere" oorden? groeten, Chantal
