Moving On
I know that my last few posts have left a little sore hole in most people’s bellies, but if I only report half the story then I may as well be the Daily Mail. I promise that this will be the last one involving Pol Pot’s genocidal Khmer Rouge.
Yesterday we visited the Killing Fields. the first thing you see as you enter is an enormous white stupa containing over 300 human skulls. Mass graves litter what would otherwise be a peaceful and sedate field. At intervals, there are still bits of clothing and bones of the victims poking out of the ground. There is a tree called the ‘beating tree’ where children were… well, you get it.
No more genocide now, promise promise promise.
