The Khmer Rouge dominates tours in and around this city with the evidence I have seen, visiting places like the killing fields (although there were some 83 sites around the country where killing in the fields took place) The one just outside of the capitol is where most people think of when they hear the term. The pic of the little girl in the middle of the shot shows such profound sadness, taken at Tuong Sleng prison (formally a school before the KR took over) It is quite likely this child was killed shortly after the picture was taken, for being an enemy of the state. If you want to find out more google the 'Khmer Rouge'.
Its not all bad, the temple in the center is by stark contrast beautifully ordered and very well maintained. The vid is me on the way the shooting range on the back of a motorbike, I fired an AK-47 1 full magazine and a half magazine for an MP5...... boys stuff yeh.
There are no pedestrian crossings at all?
