... Det for $1, and these were charging $8! So I got back into the Tuk-Tuk and asked Winston (that was his name he said) to take me to the Riverside to check out there. Once there I found a decent place for $10 a night, with cable, air con and a hot shower and settled in.

They handed over the visas and we were on our ...

Which left me with a dish which looked even worse, in the fact ti was totally unidentifiable. The final dish, looked like at least parts of it were edible, if not palatable, so I went for that one. I wouldn't exactly call it my favorite meal since I've been travelling.<br><br>And then comes the serious bit. The Killing ...

Declaring himself to be 'Brother Number One' and setting the date to 'Year Zero' and the name of the country to be 'Democratic Kampuchea', he immediately abolished currency, education, religion, culture and communications. All citizens were relegated to peasant status and forced to march en mass into the countryside as part of an agrarian Maoist co-operative. The young, the sick and the elderly were no exceptions and they too were ...
