Cambodia continued



The Genocide Museum: a sobering lesson on the trauma that Camobodians
have lived through in our lifetimes (1975-1978), during the brutal reign of
Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge regime.
One in three Cambodians were killed in those three years.


A fairly common sight to see a row of townhouses: tall, narrow houses
in which many of the expatriate workers live. We visited a British woman
at her similar house for lunch and a house tour.


Buddhist monks on their daily rounds to their more faithful parishoners,
who will give them rice or other food; then the monks will bless them with their chants.


A spirit house, where incense is offered daily (I think) to the spirits to bring
their blessing and especially to ward off their evil power.
