I have few words for this place. It was just awful and so necessary to visit.

A school turned into a jail and place of torture. The atrocities committed here are beyond my comprehension.

I took almost no photos inside but felt I needed to take a couple to capture the horror of this place.

I took almost no photos here as well. It's a somber place - one to just listen and hear the stories in hopes they never happen again.

Built in honor of those who lost their life here.

These people were murdered out of fear, hatred, and ignorance.

Putting that motorbike to work.

A friendly wave.

I guess Cambodians let kids drive at a younger age than we do in the U.S.

No need to buy a helmet, he'd just grow out of it.

Safety first!

A majority of people we saw waved and smiled at us (and my camera.)

Two girls on a bike.

Chopping ice.

Computer monitors.

Nobody refrigerates eggs out here.

Nothing is too big to be carried on a motorbike.

You rarely see a child with a helmet.

I think that's a machine to pulverize sugarcane to make sweet drinks.

Another common thing with young children on bikes: holding them up higher so they can see around them.

Average-to-low traffic.
