Smile of Khmer Rouge (2) walk in Phnom Penh
Phnom Penh's attractions blatantly reflects the intense contrast of the Khmer Empire.
Beautiful and magnificent palaces, luxury extremely luxurious Temple of silver. Wonder to be boosted and tongue. S-21 prison and Bell housing killing field, reflected in the last century 90 's, a short 3 years those heinous events, scenes that make the chilling, will direct you to the heart, let people breathe. This is how I feel today.Morning from small hotel edges start to rent a bike tour of Phnom Penh today.
Phnom Penh is a city that is seven Hydra winding city, no exaggeration. Residential doors, flower bed walls, bridges, guardrails, a Palace building, urban sculpture, monument of independence, etc. Religion on the city and national impact is enormous. In particular, Hinduism and Buddhism. Walking in the street, from time to time, you will see Orange Buddhist monks, dressed in one of the monks standing at the door of the shop and residences, which will go out of people to donate some money, pray to Buddha considerate to bless, monk will read the text on the spot.Tashan, also known as the Vaux Weng (WAT PHONM) is the commanding heights of Phnom Penh, but some small 20 meters high, but he soil packages built in 1371, legend has it that a woman name is found from PHNOM PENH on rushed to the Mekong River 4 statues of Buddha was placed here, has the Phnom PENH's name, is a hill, from which there's tashan.
Tashan surrounded by green trees, is a good place to enjoy, but it is best not to eat here, otherwise it will be the monkeys of harassment.
Here are some disabled people are waiting for your sympathy and dollars. Embassy of the United States of magnificent mountain was very objective capture eyes.Tashan Jupiter is the independence monument.
Along the Norodom road to the South, with many on both sides of the distribution France colonial House to stay, and some have been renovated with a new, some are painted are protected. Cycling around 20 minutes and you will see stands in Central Boulevard of independence monument, much like the Angkor temples Tower. The magnificent, it is a Khmer architectural style. Along the way you can turn to the side near the central marketSee, there are many women like clothes and articles, a yellow building, also known as the Russia market as far as the eye can be recognized.From the independence monument has been towards the East, the Tonle came to see this-sur-wide mother River.
Northwards along the River, is now a symbol of supreme power in Cambodia's Palace.
The Palace, built in Tonle River, excellent scenery.
The magnificent Tower, roof. And surrounding low contrast for housing. Currently, only one-third of the opening. Single building, the Palace and the Chinese palace comparison is not very large, but very beautiful, full of stupa Buddhist shrine statues, but a bit like a temple. Garden of the trees are like inside Kinky dog, be trimmed to form different. Building the most luxurious is the Temple of the Silver Pavilion. The entire ground spent 5 tons of pure silver paved floor tiles. Most of the carpet covering, only a small portion for visitors. A statue of Buddha, life-like crystal. There is a respect for up to 90 kg tessellation of the Golden Buddha, above the 2086 diamond, the biggest one weighing 25 carats.Round to the Palace to the North is the National Museum, because there is no rest from work as at noon.
To the South along the Palace East wall, opposite the "Hong Kong Center" not far away there is a monument to the Cambodia-Vietnam friendship to Memorial in 1978, the Vietnamese troops help Hun Sen (jiangong a branch) defeated the Khmer Rouge and POL POT (jiangong major forces).
For this reason, the Chinese to Viet Nam harassment on the grounds of the Guangxi border I, at 79 years sent troops took lessons from the disobedient brothers ninth leading Le bamboo shoots, forcing the withdrawal from Cambodia VCP. In fact, Viet Nam in the past 74 years just consolidated South, 75 of the Khmer Rouge regime, early defeat Ronald doesn't just came to power. Cambodia and Vietnam are both extreme hardship in the Chinese people to accept China's massive economy military assistance "comrades and brother". This monument of historical records is somewhat silly and funny?Continue along the road to the South, S-S-B turned to Mao Zedong's road to the West found 113 Street towards the back, you will come to the hair-raising S-21 countries torture Center, also known as a prison Museum.
Meet some Chinese tour guide to Malaysia Chinese explanation, I also had the privilege to learn more about how this has happened in history. The following documentation according to the site. (Shudder, content to be continued).Feeling Phnom Penh than Kung clear heat, slightly move the sweat, here the Sun not only let you become healthy black, even Sun burst your skin.

Smile of Khmer (3) if one does not smile Khmer Rouge times
Morning, hired a car and motorcycle carrying me to Phnom Penh city 15 km southwest of Bell housing, continues to explore in modern Khmer history, a scene of tragedy.
Old farmhouse in the countryside along the way and large rice fields, about half an hour to reach the shocking murder field. Large tracts of farmland stands a pagoda, it is thousands, a pine tops fragmentary skeleton piling up, it will take you to your back to the bloody past of King's 1975 ...A day in 1970, thought some deficits of King Sihanouk visited the Soviet Union, the United States on the same general from Ronald doesn't return to Phnom Penh (it is said that United States people also gave him a big box of gold) and launch a military coup.
Sihanouk to North Korea where refuge, Kim Il Sung worry that got into trouble not allowed, then recourse to Sihanouk, when China's Zhou Enlai took him in. Since then, the Khmer Rouge last King, will stay in China so far. Ronald doesn't ruling of corruption, the forfeit during that time have shot blast, complained. At the same time, 70-72 years many urban poor families and teenage boys, were missing, who was sent to Cambodia Northwest mountain Pailin, terrorist, kill, and snatching, hate education brainwashing, up to three years, a bit like today's Taliban bombers of children. Later these with childlike children became the Khmer Rouge regime of the massacre of intellectuals, political dissidents, innocent people or even their parents parents executioner! because they only teens, without any education, and the Khmer Rouge, long-term brain training and its fierce cruel murder. 1975 April 17 Cambodian play with that day, while the Phnom Penh people also bathed in festive, multi-channel Khmer Rouge to get into the city, put an end to the power of the United States who supported Ronald doesn't rule the military regime. Phnom Penh people thought that the corruption fall of the regime, Ronald doesn't see them dressed in black pants and a red star CAP, neck badgering and white Plaid scarf is fresh, hopefully meet in the city of RedKhmer Rouge forces. Who knows what awaits them is greater. After two hours into the city began to disseminate to the public in various ways: We overthrow Ronald doesn't, the us soon to bombing, ask the public to seek refuge in the countryside, go to the city, you will have the cars then you need not take anything, Thunder 5-7 days you can come back. Them into town after 48 hours, Phnom Penh becomes empty city, ghost town. Individual is not willing to go the old spot executions. All home original coins have been burned out, gold and silver thin to return for weapons. To the countryside, a few days for someone to investigate, ask them who have before officials, who supported worked as a teacher, who went to College, we prepare for the new regime. So some people truly escalation, some women also to her husband in the future to find a way out of the stories submitted, next to convene a meeting of these people, lie in the name of training from being entered on the truck that into no-out S-21 torture Center ...Interrogation centre was built in 1963, in Phnom Penh senior high school.
By ABCD four four-storey building. Is a Mecca for portraying the human soul, but he was turned into a tortured and mutilated people of slaughterhouses. Here's a large number of photographs, instruments of torture, and that the perpetrators self introduction use means unheard of torture, extremely cruel and uses methods and instruments of torture are extremely primitive, ignorance, let victims survive cannot, to die, a little bit to torment you to death, including wood drill of the living brain. Here cannot be used with text description. Friends have the opportunity to experience this visit.Clock House to kill farm is grilled S-21 centre next procedure, this was originally just a piece of plain rice fields.
Victims of torture centre shall not exceed three months, they will be called after the interrogation of prisoners sent to here, and then use extremely cruel way into hell. Including women and children, or even a tiny child. From 1975 to 1978 and December, in this area of the River, there are 129 grave pit, now a part of, only to discover there was a lot of people were killed in 17000 juvenile executioner's axe iron bars. You can imagine, the Khmer Rouge to save bullets, so many people had all been young killers used blunt knockout killed. Cemetery in the middle of a Khmer style white tower, behind the glass, layered display at 8000 more head, many of the above have been beaten with sticks and axe chopping have depression out of cracks.When you look in the vicinity of the laughter of children, wandering one unexplored between the graves, Earth from time to time, you will also see exposed bone and teeth, and also no rot through clothes.
Not only let people for today's modern Cambodia and the most dark contrast between a curtain and hush Hey.With a very sad, very sad, indescribable feelings out torture Center and Bell housing killing field.
Visit these places, you also get a smile that it even kindly?? statues face-out must be helpless wry.
After seeing these places will let people think.
When a country's Government, especially the first leader of power unlimited zoom, unfettered control, people will suffer. When people cheated out of reason and thought, without humanity, remaining only brutal and crazy.If you came to Cambodia travel, only to Angkor Wat, the Royal Palace, that too is not comprehensive, there is only a part of the Khmer Empire.
The nearly 2000 years of history of the country, and was once very brilliant and powerful, the Thailand Viet Nam Lao are used to be a part of him, although it has suffered from France, Japan. And any time there during the Khmer Rouge to this country and the nation caused so much suffering and damage. From 1975 to 1979, only 3 years and 4 months, 20 days, the carnage as high as $ 300 million, representing about a quarter of the population at that time, including some before I could walk out of foreigners and foreign students who cheat are back. To save a shot, never use the gun to kill them, but rather implements hoes hit, drill head, an iron hammer. ..... Shop window display every skull on or axe split, or drill holes, or be blunt strongroom marks only torture center every day up to a hundred dead.Most difficult to understand the main leaders of the Khmer Rouge were students in France, had a good education, where learning Marxism, so treat yourself with a lot of? or innocent women and children.
Why are they so afraid of hate and intellectuals and elite, obscurantism reigning period they have no money, no product, everything is inati, even to his wife. Marx's spirit must also give the Nirvana Sun, this in no way is he himself was in the first place. Let the inconceivable.Today's entry into Cambodia Cambodia, a Vietnamese border, the Cambodian side there are 2-3 Grand CLUB.
But to go near the car ferry to cross the Mekong River. Ferry and ferry, our car around the surrounding full of dirty black boys and girls, or disabled children, or in the car, or climb the gap between the ferry iron frame, to car occupants begging. I put my own confectionery and car distribution of food to them, or have the children come to me and help other passengers the contents to give girls and disabled children. See that scene really make people miserable. However, the Phnom Penh here see the polarization is equally badly. Upscale hotels, office buildings and full street running Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi Q7\, \ defend Ma Jeep, Prado and big Casino and live in shanty towns around the Lake, as well as the formation of men and women in the streets of this city today a new landscape.Khmer is developing, countries are in progress.
I wish this Kingdom people safe and happy because they are such a belief Buddha, piety, not just the Palace, even in poor rural areas, there is also a golden pagoda of Temple in the reflection, I wish to bless all the Buddha!2009-12-11, SIHANOUK VILLE

Very early, because to go Internet surfing, because to Kampot of transport was not implemented, there is no formal operation of the bus, although just over a hundred kilometres.
7 years ago in the morning we went to Cambodia Mr. CHAN of doing business.
Find the Internet, the speed is very slow. Landing after being "gray pigeon" virus attack, the main station is also not give me a connection, their disappointing.Along the route on the map to leave town, walk towards the sea.

To quiet or leave here somewhere. But I'm here harvest tomorrow's trip tickets, last night arrives, with the hotel waiter, restaurant owners, all about travel, transport and fares heart probably a bottom, here ask down than Down-town several quotes are low 2-3 USD, so here bought the ticket in the morning, the bus every day only to Kampot.SOKHA BEACH from the Golden Island ring road of another, over the hill walking for approximately 20 minutes, downhill and you'll see half of silver sand around next to the blue sea, here are few, very quiet.
Stepped on is the sun hot on the beach, I'm afraid your tolerance but a few seconds. You can't help but want to jump into the crystal clear sea. Walk along the beach before you know it you'll walk into the hotel's exclusive Beach. Because the beach is a five-star hotel occupies, but you get to enjoy the charm of there, they will not be impolite to you, but you must then return to before they can find the walk of the main road.INDEPENDENCE BEACH if you're still manual, and it takes about 40 minutes on foot to bypass this great hotel and a tie-up with a sheet of "refugees" housing to independent beach.
Here there is almost no tourists. The difference is, here's a slightly larger beach sand, walking into the water you can see many small stones, and each one is sea water worn round rocks. At the end of the beach is also a superior Hotel.KOH POS BEACH leave independent Beach, along the fence outside of the hotel, you will see a group of monkeys, constantly turn into pulls out of the road in search of food.
15 minutes walk away.Read the several beaches, you will probably learn there.
There is also a victory Beach, advise you not to go, there is no reason why the beach clean, clean, and the presence and management of the hotel a great relationship, there are advantages and disadvantages.Back to Down-town is 3 pm and a half, hasn't had lunch, tired legs are soft, came back to sleep to only seems to eat at.

Smile of Khmer (5) the King had liked the resort-white horse KEP
The morning sitting on the bus, MINI BUS, local call came to the South another seaside resort, a white horse.
Here is close to the border from Viet Nam.KEP there is nothing special about the waves gently Chung, Pina Coladas, Po SA.
One side is the Castle, one side is the sea. Tourists more less, it is not surprising that the King Sihanouk in the war, like in here to receive foreign guests. Business facilities are also very little, but eat not to worry, go to the beach, has put up a hotel of fishermen, then you will have wonderful fresh seafood and crab were still alive and kicking. Spent $ 8.2 could eat two crab, four sea shrimp, also take a listen to Angkor beer, eat my full stomach. A moment forget two legs with 26 red packets that were sent by irritation (last night was a small town in Sihanouk a class of ants bite).Here is a little story, I want to eat crabs and prawns, I wonder if my pronunciation or anything else, since man cannot understand how, I would to zero seconds, extremely fast draw a crab and a shrimp fishermen, win
Restaurant owners and staff of accolades. This one came out, most worried about is that language will be in trouble. In fact, my experience is that you have a clever mind, plus goodwill smile, basically you can handle it well.Find an Inn here, someone broke into a holiday village, came in sight, you do not want to go out.
Wait until someone check-out at noon, before entering the room, but they see you sitting in a large log good faith made bar stool while waiting, then send your pineapple juice, to your account, WIFI, nor stuffy unbearably. Living here is not wasted this row. Want to want to live in only 30 resorts, so cheap, but on this trip, I had the most extravagant one price!Hillside, built of wood and bamboo, a string of thatched houses, while in six surface light, fresh air absolute, pushed open the shutters, looking out of the House was a banana tree, coconut trees, still do not know the name of the tree surrounded, how can we not cozy? all housing is used between the wood of the cloisters.
Sitting in a public platform on the Internet, on, watch and enjoy the blue sea and green mountains, you will also need to do? just quietly stay here is sufficient. You also can bare naked, lying wooden hammock outside, Breeze, breezy twittering and fragrant, shake shaky slowly into dreams, temporarily forgotten journey, forget unaccompanied on the alien.Cottage mulou, return to innocence.
Surrounded by green trees, full of insects.
The air smells, noise without shadow.
Quiet cobblestone, and resting.
Yangshan Fu sea, wonderful.
BUT, I quietly tell you that the evening a man in there lived, only heard the bug "Squeak", outside the silence, occasionally huts also makes his entrance "voices", for more or less a bit "infiltration" of panic.

Smile of Khmer (6) boge BOKOR of Kampot
Luxury resort can't stay, to live a pair, unless you have to leave transfer Kampot KAM POT.
Kampot itself only 40 people, but is a small town, although he was the provincial capital.
In addition to boge National Park, the other seems to be not worth mentioning. The town itself with its unique waterfront location, lazy Shu free atmosphere as well as in the previous century France colonists left behind many of the streets and buildings, but also attract many Western tourists. Here you don't have to do, just feel it. Have everyone enough to walk to completing, city. Walk by the river of small streets enjoy those yellow, green, pink, delicate, a large number of pending repair of France. There is also a time to stay in prison, it can be considered cultural heritage. But this guy is still in use, the worn degree it is hard to imagine, I am afraid of prisoners in China have long gone.Therefore, the BOKOR NATIONAL PARK there are more famous than the town itself.
Each here are to transit.

Smile of Khmer (7) boge BOKOR mountain resort
Boge Villa, built in the last century, completed in 1925.
Then France colonial somehow will find this is located in the lush forest of treasure. It is built at an altitude of 1080 m peak platform. Villa in the summer resorts, casinos, luxury hotels, post offices, Catholic Church, was a perfect community. Hotel decoration used terrazzo stair, glass curtain wall brick, colored tiles still gorgeousClearly, each guest room has a separate bathroom, mosaic or ceramic brick decoration, visible at the level of luxury. Station in the hotel's platforms, looking towards the South to the Viet Nam's rich island, fireballs clouds from the South China sea-level rise on slowly.But sadly, here in the last century the 40s are human occupation of Viet Nam, the 1970s were the ravages of the Khmer Rouge.
Now along with inside and outside the hotel, the Graffiti Wall, devastated it. There is a collapse of wall stairs and bare steel. Go inside the ghastly terrorist. No wonder the United States large areas of the United States, select the silent here as one of the outdoor.Friends, you may have seen, truck drivers who left to sit a two people sitting on the right (front row a total of four people), had to tilt sideways driving? followed at 10 000 visitors.
This is our first morning trip scene scenes.Morning pickup has installed a total of 14 people, tourists from the Netherlands, the United States, Switzerland, Germany, United Kingdom and China.
The car is no path walking for half an hour to reach the mountain. Then begin JUNGLE for three hours, passing through the dense tropical rain forest, there is no way that a loose leaves Deadwood, cross over to the next of a pine tops of trees, you can still see a large Chameleon and other reptiles. Fortunately, there are forest guard members carry assault rifles at the front, as we take courage. Stuffy, last night it was a heavy rain, humidity is very high. The dense forest, without the slightest wind, men and women are sweating. I walked head sweat along the tops in the preceding paragraph, the "how-to 's" smack drip, no exaggeration. You can think hard. 12 people, "old age" Switzerland's biggest, 57 years old, the body is great, never fall behind. But young people physical seems unsatisfactory. However the "old Switzerland" bad luck today, when the mountains were tripped a broken hand. While cannibals down the mountain, his head was a large cane packet, but he is very humorous, crashed head also to a sentence of "GOOD MORNING, SIR!". He had in a long time, and understand many things, China swamps throughout China. I was also pretty good, not only do not left behind, but also to help others. Back nearly 20 days of hiking shoes also gaobang handy.Three hours after climbing road, then into a small truck in the potholes on the rough mountain roads.
Reached the top of the Hill, butt seems split eight flap, because the truck seat mean only bare steel angle.Return the same way, just down the Hill.
Today visit the boge Villa 10 hours it is difficult.
Now access to the mountain roads are being original France left on widening construction. If you felt sick or unable to endure such a jolt to torture, or later, then come on, such as highway repaired, the peak of the Star Alliance. If you do not have sufficient physical and mountaineering hiking experience, cannot stand high temperatures in humid tropical forests, flowers and mosquito bites, or select individual foot a pick-up truck, or motorcycle here.Next stop: PENH-SIEM REAP PHNOM

Smile of Khmer (10) walk in Siem Reap, lazy day
Leaving tomorrow to Cambodia, Laos.
Leaving the end of the Khmer Rouge, a 13-day tour of the Khmer.
Today didn't arrange something, but feel a bit tired. Walk along the Siem Reap River, near the Mall and see the old and new town, temples and French architecture coexist in town. The Royal is a station Temple watch wearing traditional dress in Cambodia, the couple's wedding ceremony. Get tired to sit down and have a cup of strong coffee, a Western-style breakfast (from playing to Siem Reap for few days I haven't had breakfast yet), French bread, cheese ... long Refreshing lemonade, feel the taste sweet.Go to the PUB St. side of the central market, taste the local people's lives.

Bought a smilingly wood carving of Buddha in Israeli Rong, let yourself, so that all can see everyone smile every day, regardless of the experience of war, disasters, or other things of all.Walk into the local barber shop, modification of their own, their own comfort myself, a wave of faraway exotic.

"asked the Lao aviation Siem Reap offices and several agents are not sure what to answer, and Lao aviation is the only airline flying.
Issue Oh!! testing me again!Barber: HAIRCUT $ 2.5; COLOR-HIGHLIGHT $ 6.
Left: Lao aviation QV522, airport departure tax of $ 25, Inn-Airport TUK-TUK $ 4, airport customs ask for $ 5 (Cambodia's corruption is open, but I observe a moment, as if only the Eastern people demanded that Westerners would
Routine customs clearance).Cambodia expenditure: all 13 days, spending $ 514, over budget.
The main reason is the white horse, roundtrip transportation KEP, plus live a holiday; second car rental to Angkor city 3 days transport TUK-TUK high; third, Siem Reap, main cuisine: prices are expensive, eat a good meal is more than 5 USD.2009 December 19 Saturday SIEM REAP
