Phnom Penh - Day 22

---

23rd September 2010
We hired a Tuk Tuk and a driver for a half day trip to The Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum and The Cheong Ek Memorial (Killing fields). The museum was once a high school but in 1975 it got turned into S-21; a torture centre and prison for the Khmer rouge. Around 17000 people were killed in the converted school. We walked round and actually got to go into both the wood and the brick cells which is where they were both tortured and killed, the worst part was that you could still see some of the blood stains on the floor and walls in the cells. We spent just over an hour at the museum and then got the Tuk Tuk to the killing fields which took about 20 minutes. The Killing fields where were the Cambodians where taken to dig their own graves before they were executed.
After the killing fields we went to the mall for some lunch and then headed to the central markets for an hour or so - they were huge!!
In the evening we went to a local restaurant down our road for dinner and then onto another bar for a desert. Nice early night for a change!
