Phnom Pehn
Today was very full. we went to the royal palace, the central market, the killing fields and the prison museum. The Killing fields and the museum were pretty heartbreaking. It was really intence, but I"m glad we went. there were lot's of pictures at the museum of all the people that were tortured and killed. and at the killing field they had on monument with skulls inside. You could tell how they died by how they're skull was broken. Many were beaten by dull objects. (pretty gruesome I know...welcome to my day.) but the palace was nice. Cambodia is such an interesting mix of wealth and culture and poverty and tradgedy. You see a lot of nice cars here and a lot of disfigured people. . Tomorrow morning we go to siem reap to see ankhor

Yikes. That does sound intense. But it sounds like it was a valuable experience, like visiting Yad Vashem.
I was interested that you didn't mention anything about the Vietnam War when you wrote about Hanoi. Is there no feeling at all anymore that Vietnam and the United States were ever bitter enemies?
