The Cambodian capital of Phnom Penh maybe
somewhat outshined by Siem Reap the beautiful
Temples of Angkor, but that does not mean that
there isnt plenty to do see here. A lot of
people believe that the city is all about war
history. While these disastrous reminders of the
past should surely be part of your Phnom Penh day
trip, you may also be astounded to know that the
city has many other great things to check
out.   Pay your honor at Choeung Ek Gencocidal
Centre   Also recognized as the Killing Fields,
Choeung Ek Gencocidal Centre is where several
people met their end at the hands of the Khmer
Rouge. A tombstone filled with human skulls
other bones goes some way to demonstrate the
degree of the killings acts as a commemorative
to the deceased. Signboards display the
importance of diverse parts of the site,
encompassing huge graves, a big tree against
which naïve children were smashed thumped to
death, and a tree that was employed to hang a
sound system to drown out the shocked screams and
cries. The audio guide is vital for acquiring a
real comprehending of this horrendous site. Even
more frighteningly, while this may be the most
popular of Cambodias so-called killing fields,
it was definitely not the only one plenty of
other identical sites were once placed all around
the country.
