The Killing Fields and Tuoi Sleng (Genocide Museum) of Cambodia

A long way back to Phnom Penh on the same bumpy roads with Anne very sick, Gina and Jeremy not feeling great. There would be lots of stops for sick ones to do what they had to do. Eak told us a little about schooling in Cambodia. Not compulsory but free. Most of the time, teachers charge the children a small fee because they only earn around $40 a month and consider themselves underpaid. The Government is trying to stamp this out but very difficult to do. There are two different classes each day. You either attend from 7-11 am, or 1-5 pm. If they can afford it, children then take a second private class. School begins at age 6, private kindergarten at age 4 and some children have to walk more than 10k/6.2 miles a day to school.
On the way back, we stopped at the infamous Killing Fields. Between 1975 and 1978, about 17,000 men, women, children and infants (including nine westerners), were detained and tortured at S-21 prison (now Tuoi Sleng Museum). They were then transported to the Killing Fields for extermination to avoid wasting precious bullets.
