So interesting day. Me and shaz travelling with a girl called Kate. She's a good sort, a wardrobe mistress from the west end.
We made a day trip to s21. This was horrific. I haven't quite got my head round this yet but in 1974-1978 the khymer part took control in cambodia overnight placing communist ideals throughout the land. This in effect was the beginning in a genocide that would wipe out 1.9million people. S21 is a converted high school where the khymer housed and tortured and murdered their fellow country. It was brutal seeing how a place of learning could so easily become a modern day auchwitz. Barb wired and torture device littered the school. We continued on our day of reality to the killing fields to see the mass graves of the less fortunate and memorial museum. A hard day on Cambodia, like it was in Rwanda and the museum of the occupation in Latvia. but I feel I now know the people better and respect their incredible endurance.
Just at airport now to meet Bernie from Singapore praying he has my wallet would be happy end to hard day. Just been hit by tropical rain storm and nearly drowned me and my tuk tuk driver I have lovingly named bob!!!!
