Angelina Jolie was here …
Cambodia, Angkor Wok and The Killing Fields
From luxury hotel to The
Temples of Angkor Wok and
the Killing Fields
Cambodia provided by far the most memorable parts of
our SE Asia visit. The Killing Fields proved a stark
reminder of what this country had experienced in recent
history when 1.7 million educated professional people,
by and large, were slaughtered out of a total population
of approximately 6.5 million. Our guide had been forced
to watch torture as a young boy as part of his training
for future ‘employment’. The amazing Angkor Wok and
surrounding temples defy description here. Hanoi also
reminded us of recent history and we saw wedding
preparations - done a week or two before the wedding -
that was different.
