Killing Fields
Cambodia is dotted with places like Choeung Ek 14km from Phnom Penh, some no doubt, still undiscovered. This is the site of a huge stupa filled with over 8000 skulls representing a fraction of those killed at this site alone. Walking around, reading the signs identifying long gone buildings and their gruesome functions is a sobering experience.
