    WARNING ..photos have distressing details
    Avisit to the killing fields literally 10mins from my accommodation, with a Nicaraguan lady ,now living in Washington, was a stark and sobering experience this morning. The guides ,my age remember it clearly and I wish I'd had one ..but overhead bits from other people's.
    The level of torture and inhumanity defies logic. I heard a guide explaining how his dad had been killed
    The artwork is graphic and stark
    The memorial has the skulls and bones of people who were killed, visible on 4 sides of the memorial ..800 bodies found and apparently this is a small memorial area ...as a race we don't learn .if only people could just be kind
    This afternoon I did holiday admin and had a power nap
    Id heard about Pub Street so decided to have a tuk tuk ride into town to investigate
    Its the Cambodia equivalent to the Curry mile...but cleaner ! Great vibe ..where i may have had a design on my leg ...but is it a tattoo...or is it henna?🤔 Its prime leg ulcer location.and Im .regretting the colour ,as looks like gaping wound !🤣
