In the courtyard of now peaceful Tuol Sleng highschool otherwise known as the Security Prison-21 (S-21). 
An interrogation chamber. Sometimes it feels like you can still see brown stains on the tiled floor...
The gallows.
Shackles used to chain prisoners.
Paintings by the artists of how people lived in S-21.
Portraits of senior Khmer Rouge are full of inscriptionsl with the expletives in Khmer, English, Spanish, French...
The interesting thing was that these portraits along with the one of senior female member weren't even hung on the wall like others. They were just standing on the floor. Was it intentional?..
Early in the morning. Who says that the monks don't work? Off to work.... with the briefcase...
The slums of Cambodia. As you would correctly guess it's not everywhere, but you can see that.
The regulations at S-21

The gallows.
To put the number of prisoners at S-21 to their face.
Khmer Rouge trained young boys aged 10~13 to be the guards at S-21 prison. The boys soon would become the most feared and evil guards.
Shackles used to chain prisoners.
Print on the staircase in the Tuol Sleng highschool. 
Highschool turned into one of the most horried prisons. 
Torture tools used by the Khmer Rouge.
Paintings by the artists of how people lived in S-21.
Some of the exhibits in Tuol Sleng museum. 
At last quiet and peaceful building of Tuol Sleng highschool.

On our way to the Killing Fields museum we got flat tire, so, we had to stop by the bike shop and have it fixed. Note the "genuine" parts made probably in China for Honda motorcycles... :)
The memorial in the Killing Fields museum to people murdered by Khmer Rouge. 
The fenced area behind Katy is where hundreds of women and children were burried during the Khmer Rouge regime. The tree that Katy's touching was used to kill little babies. How? Grab by the leg, smash against the tree and throw into the pit. 
The central garden inside the National museum.
It was good to see that the Royal Palace is visited by many locals as well. And monks too are people and want to take pictures with their buddies... :)
In the Royal Palace. The Silver Pagoda in the background. This is the place where there's a statue of golden Buddah with almost 9 thousands diamonds. Although we think they've probably replaced real diamonds with the fake ones, because the lock on that statue was so tiny that it wouldn't stop a 7 year old from breaking it...
Early in the morning. Who says that the monks don't work? Off to work.... with the briefcase...
The silk shop where we spent a few dollars today and bought some silk for Katy's clothing and curtains.
The slums of Cambodia. As you would correctly guess it's not everywhere, but you can see that.
