Day 2 continued

We then visited the Royal Museum (ho hum) and the huge city market. The price of a Rolex has zoomed up to $15.

On a more somber note, we toured the Genoicide Museum. This former high school was taken over in the 70's by the Khmer Rouge and turned into a prison camp where 20,000 Cambodians were tortured and killed. Over two million citizens were killed in the country during the despotic reign of Pol Pot.
