The Royal Family's photos are everywhere, especially the 'President's." I guess he wants to stay in the mind of the Cambodian people on a daily basis, and they really love him.

This is a school turned prison, to house the people held by the Khmer Rouge. They were either held here in tiny individual cells, or grouped together before being taken to the killing fields. This wooden device was used to hang prisoners by their wrists, which were tied behind their backs, as an interrogation technique. When they were unconscious, the'd be dunked head-first into these big clay urns, filled with water and chemicals, to get them to wake up, so they'd be able to talk again.
