Phnom Penh part 2

A pagoda built for the display of some of the skulls found in the killing fields
Here! Touch it!

See the bullet holes?


A bone shaft.

The killing fields was a Chinese graveyard before the khmer rouge turned it a mass burial place.

Clothes from the victims, left on the ground (or at least so they said).

A beautiful and peaceful place, with almost filled up and overgrown holes in the ground as a reminder of what it really is.


Our guide explained that the khmer rouge sometimes used the sharp and rough stems of palm leaves to tear the throats of their victims.



It was over 30 degrees heat outside, the sun was shining and I still had goose-bumps from feeling cold.


Russian Market in Phnom Penh. Didn't see a single Russian thing tho.

Lilla and Sanna looking at stuff. There was a lot of stuff there. Stuff here, stuff everywhere, and little people popping out from nowhere trying to sell it to you. Special price for you, of course.
Market food court. I had a tasty fish soup!

In Cambodia it is OK to take a nap at work. Even if you are taking it right in the middle of your meat stall in the market!

Lilla made a painting at a restaurant and made a waiter put it up in on the only empty spot on the wall she could find.

People dancing in the street at the riverside in central Phnom Penh. OK so it is a pretty crap picture, but five or so different "teams" were dancing/practising what can only be described as a crossover between line-dance and traditional Cambodian dance. Looked like a lot of fun!
