We had varied experiences here, from watching brawls in the street outside our hotel, to watching rats in the streets outside our hotel, to dodging tuktuk drivers in the streets outside our hotel...
The sights around PP are shocking and depressing, especially the S21 prison museum, which still diplays the steel beds, steel ankle restraints and weapons used by the kmer rouge officials to 'interrogate' their prisoners. Nearly 9000 men women and kids were sent here, and then to the 'killing fields', where they were systematically and brutally murdered. the skulls have been dug up and now form a giant monument tower, but most of the bones and clothes from the victims are visible, poking up through the dirt walking paths.
Then our thoughtful driver took (took) us to the shooting range, but we really really didn't feel like trying an AK47, M16, hand grenade, anti-aircraft gun or rocket launcher right then. But we could have!
