We cross the border into Cambodia!!!
First impressions: " same same but better":)

The good things :
The food has so many flavores that you have never tried. The fruits are so tasty and juicy, the people smile and are a bit more positive then vietnamese, brand factories bring cheap products with good quality on the streets, specialy NorthFace, and beer is like 0.3$ and so on.

The bad things:
You are not allowed to show any signs of affection in the public, so we've got big problems with that:) just holding the hand of your partner is innapropriate :(
We try some local restaurants in one evening and there were so many prostitutes :( like sitting on any corner and wait for you to ask them smthg. Very weird! And now back! How can you not show any signs of affections but the prostituates are everyware and we think that many of them are under 18.

We arrived in Phnom Penh, the capital city and went for some sightseeing where we found outhow it actually came to name the city: a lady named Penh saw a tree log floatingon the river and when the people helped her to pull itout the water and cut it open, she found a statue of Buddha, which she has put up on the hill ( in khmer language: Phnom). Around this hill they started tobuild todays Phnom Penh.
We take to tuk tuk toget to the Genocide Museum, which knocked us off our feet. It was so touching and sad how the Khmer Rouge killed and tortured it's own people just because they had different ideologies. Khmer Rouge is acambodian political group, led by Pol Pot ( originated from "Political Potential"). This guy, Pol Pot, who doesn't look like a mass murderer at all, woke up one day and thought the communist farmers should take over Cambodia and kill all the intelectuals. People who had soft hands, wear glasses, have light colored skin were exectued. But before that, they were tortured in the cruelest ways possible to name other people that were doctors, painters, basically educated. When tney found them they killed them and the whole family, because " weed had to be cut off from the roots". They wanted to change de political situationof a country by killing all it' s people. That's how 1/3 of Cambodia's population has been exterminated. There is not even one cambodian nowadays that didn't Loose at least 2 members of their family like that. The prison was a formor school and we found it terrifying that there still was blood on the floor from the 1975-1978 when all this happened.
We move on to the killing fields. The prisoners were loaded in trucks and driven 15 km out of the city where babies were slammed againt the trees, heads were cut off or hit with ironranges. To be sure that every body was dead Pol Pot's soldiers used to throw acid in the mass graves, to make sure that even the ones buried alive were killed. Even nowadays clothes and bones still come out of the mud when it rains on the killing fields.
This is what happens when you follow other people's ideologies and believe in dogmas instead of having a free mind!!

To sweeten up our lifes a bit we went to the market toget a huge bag of fresh mixed fruit for 1 " dolla" =1$ :))
