February, 2002
This is the third country I visited. Historically, this was a fascinating country. I am too young to have experienced everything that happened in this country, but in traveling to it, I have learned an incredible amount about it and have started reading some books on the history of it. I didn't have very much time here, but I saw the two biggest things in the country - Angkor Wat and the Killing Fields.
These are the Killing Fields. This was very saddening to me. I basically had my jaw dropped open in utter disbelief at what happened. This was a field where Pol Pot killed more than 8000 of his own countries people. Some were buried alive, some were tortured. It was horrible.
