My memorable and moving visit to the killing fields outside of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
In Southwestern Cambodia, the ghostly Bokor Hill Station whispers tales of French colonial splendor amidst bullet-ridden walls and graffitied rubble. A visit to this uniquely Cambodian ghost town offers an unusual experience of the country's history.
When most visitors to Cambodia think of ruins, visions of ancient Khmer temples rising out of the creeping jungle come to mind - an abandoned French colonial hill station, surrounded by unexploded ordnance, swathed in mist does not.
But there are so many rules to remember! Take a deep breath, relax and follow these easy guidelines for good behavior in one of Asia’s most sacred spaces.
Green. Wilderness.
Amidst the beauty of Cambodia lies a great deal of pain. Traveling through Phnom Penh brought me face to face with the past.
