Phnom Penh

The last days have not been so good. People are sometimes hostile, and I don't feel really welcome in many places. Anyway, two pictures which I find interesting, and afterwards come the real thing...

Little girl playing with ther mum's hair (she did not really take care of her at all...)

Unas arañitas para comer?...

Who wants some spiders as an appetizer?...

 I really thought of not posting these pictures, I think is one of the most hard things I have seen in my whole life. 

From April 17th 1975 until January 7th 1979, the Khmer Rouge acting under orders of the leader Pol Pot directed one of the most bloody genocides in the World History. The United Nations ignored it completely because Vietnam wanted to fight the Khmer Rouge and Vietnam was an enemy of countries like USA, China and Thailand (which would support afterwards the Khmer Rouge).

Finally I decided to put the pictures because, although I had heard of the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot and the genocide, did not know how hard it really was...

Human skulls collected from the graves at the killing fields:

Interrogation room at the S-21 prison (a former school):

Pictures of some of the prisoners (women and children as well...):

Some of them would still smile when the pic was taken (unbelievable):

Improvised cells at the S-21 center:

Inside of one of the cells (the blood is still there):

One artist repainted some of the pictures taken to the prisoners:

I decided not to take pictures of the worst examples of cruelty because it is simply too much.

The next entry will be completely different, hopefully great landscape on a boat ride to the born place of the Angkor civilization!!
