I planned to spend the day with Adrian. I'm awake at 6am and can't go back to sleep, I didn't really adjust to the Cambodian time since I arrived... I decide to go for a walk in Phnom Penh at around 7:30 until Adrian texts me to let me know when to meet him at the hotel brekky lounge!
Marche a Phnom Penh:
Walk around Phnom Penh:
Cambodia Vietnam Friendship Monument: Monument construit a la fin des annees 1970 par le regime communiste qui a pris le pouvoir apres l'invasion du Cambodge par les Vietnamiens (qui a provoque l'effondrement du regime des Khmers Rouges).
It was built in the late 1970s by the communist regime that took power after the Vietnamese invasion of Cambodia, which overthrew the Khmer Rouge regime.
Independence Monument: Le Monument de l'Independance a ete construit en 1958 pour celebrer l'independence du Cambodge en 1953.
The Independence Monument was built in 1958 following the country's independence from France (1953).

As the hotel where the Comverse crew stays doesn't check the room numbers during brekky I met Adrian there O:)

Killing Fields of Choeung Ek:
Les Killing Fields de Choeung Ek se situent a environ 17kms de Phnom Penh. Ce sont les plus celebres 'killing fields' ou environ 17 000 personnes ont ete executees entre 1975 et 1979 pendant le regime des Khmers Rouges. Environ 9000 corps ont ete decouverts dans les 'mass graves' apres la chute du regime.
C'etait vraiment interessant d'aller la bas. C'est une impression bizarre de se dire que tout ca est arrive juste quelques annees avant ma naissance....
Choeung Ek is about 17km south of Phnom Penh. It is the best-known of the sites known as The Killing Fields, where the Khmer Rouge regime executed about 17,000 people between 1975 and 1979. Mass graves containing 8,895 bodies were discovered at Choeung Ek after the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime. Many of the dead were former inmates in the Tuol Sleng prison.
Today, Choeung Ek is a memorial, marked by a Buddhist stupa. The stupa has acrylic glass sides and is filled with more than 5,000 human skulls.
It was really interesting to go there. It is such a wired feeling to realise that such things happened few years before I was born.
Memorial: 
Mass Grave: 
Magic Tree: Un haut parleur diffusant de la musique patriotique etait accroche a cet arbre afin de couvrir les cris des enfants abattus contre cet arbre.
A speaker was hung from the tree blaring loud patriotic music to hide the screams of the children being smashed to death below at its trunk. Bullets being a too valuable commodity to be used for execution, axes, knives and Bambo sticks were common.
