Off to Cambodia today! After blagging a free night at the Vietnam Inn (thanks to really bad management of reservations!) we headed to the bus station to get a bus across the border. Stopped off at a service station and had some pho (noodle soup) but this one had liver in it...not my favourite ingredient!

The poverty in Cambodia compared to Vietnam was apparent as soon as we arrived. Driving through shanty towns and seeing boys begging on the car ferry we were on and appreciating boxes of crackers some of the people on the bus gave to them.

Met guys called Momchil, Pervez and Gustavo in our dorm and headed out for Mexican and some beers with them and Pervez's mate Racool.

The following day I headed to S-21 prison and the Killing Fields with Vince, Tom and Gustavo. Extremely moving and sombre day. The prison used to be a school until the Khmer Rouge moved everyone out of the city and changed it to a prison. They had photos of all the inmates and we saw the cells and shackles. There were only 7 survivors from the prison. Two of them go to the prison museum every day to talk to tourists.

The Killing Fields had an audio your which was extremely well done. It was a very strange place, expected it to be really eerie but the place was full of life - butterflies, birds, flowers, dragonflies. On the mass graves people had left bracelets to honour and remember those who died there. You could still still remnants of bone and clothes on the ground as you walked. Theost horrific part was the killing tree - this is where soldiers would smack babies and children against it to kill them. It was horrific.

Phnom Penh was a strange city - felt very unsafe and kept a hand on my bag all the time. There were tonnes of strip clubs and old Caucasian men with young Asian girls. Not my favourite place but worth a visit for the Killing Fields
