We stayed in the capital city for just one day before moving on, paying a heart wrenching visit to the S-21 Toul Sleng museum.
Before Pol Pots Khmer Rouge regime this had been a high school but was turned into a prison where people were beaten before being taken to the 'Killing Fields' for execution. The museum has a cloud over it and shows what happened here, displaying hundreds of photographs of inmates, only 7 of which survived. Its a horrowing experience to visit, but a poignant reminder of Camobdias terrible recent past.
