Walked over to the Toul Sleng Museum (to
ok a long-cut of course). It was an old school building that got turned into a prison. In the first building, in each room was a bed where the prisoner was shackled and tortured. The metal container, once used for bullets was given to the prisoner to be used as a toilet and often also as a place they received their food.
In the other building, it was set up with each classroom housing a number of individual cells for prisoners. They were shackled in these tiny cells until they were either taken to be tortured or executed. The way these people suffered....
After some a/c at the hotel I hired the world's slowest tuk tuk to take me to the Killing Fields. Another depressing place. By the truckloads, people were brought in, blind folded, often immediately executed and then dumped into mass graves. 300 a day at times were killed. When it was too busy for the fuckers to keep up with the killings, the prisoners were held in rooms with no windows until it was their 'turn'. No windows prevented them from seeing what was going on. Why did it matter at that point?
All in all not a very happy day of siteseeing.
