Cambodia

I love it here, this place doesnt get near the credit it is due. Considering their recent tumultuous past and the poverty level, what Ive seen so far of this country and its people has been nothing short of mighty impressive. The kids here could sell raw beef to a vegetarian. They are beautiful and quick witted....I was easily sold a photocopied book about Ankgor....a few moments after that I noticed another little girl was in love with our insect repellant...she loved how it smelled and I had absolutely no choice but to give it to her...she didnt ask for it but I explained that its for mosquitoes and not necisarily perfume purposes, she was thrilled with it none the less.
Yesterday we went to the Killing Fields and S-21. This is part of where Cambodias version of the holocaust occured...S-21 is a High School turned prison in Phnom Penh..it is now a meuseum honoring all of those who died during this time. In the meuseum they have probably over a thousand pictures of some of the people who were killed at the prison and the killing fields...men, women, children...It was very heartbreaking. Ben and I couldnt say anything when we left. Im still absorbing it all the next day, I want to read more about the Khmer Rouge, but I dont think I will every really comprehend what happened.
Tomorrow we are taking a boat down the Mekong river into Vietnam. Our itenerary is lose there so far, all we know is we will be in HCMC for Christmas to visit our friend Jenna!
