Day 9 - Phnom Phen

We started out the day at a all you can eat breakfast buffet for $2.75 a person. We then got on tuk-tuks ($10 for all morning for each one) and went to the Tuol Sleng Museum (admission $1) to learn about the horrible Pol Pot regime. We then went the 15km to the Killing Fields (admission $2). There is a monument with thousands of skulls that were found in mass graves. Many of the mass graves have not even been uncovered. We then went to the Russian Market () where Jeremy got a really big backpack for around $20 and the kids got a few souvenir items.

We ate lunch at Boat Noodles. I have my favorite sweet and sour chicken! After lunch we went to the National Museum. It was cool to see some of the statues that they removed from Angkor Wat to protect them from looters.

After the museum we thought about going to the Royal Palace but decided to skip it.
