Entrance fee is $2/person.
In the middle of the sprawling land lies a stupa for the dead. We gave a small amount of donation and the person in charge gave us incense to offer to the dead.
I was dragging my feet to see the burial grounds. It was spine tingling and creepy at the same time. We were out of words.
And we were horrified by the fact that there is a certain tree where babies/kids are bashed up against with until they die.
It was truly an experience to treasure. Seeing how these people suffered and died in the hands of their fellow Cambodians makes me and the rest of us lucky.
On towards the fun part now. We went to visit the other museums around Pnhom Penh before heading back to Saigon again.
One last stopover is the Russian Market to do what else? shopping!!
This market sells cheap souveinir shirts - 5 pcs for $ 5. And the quality is so good that i bought too many. There are many surplus abercrombie, old navy, lacoste, ralph lauren shirts for so much less the price in a retail store. But beware of fakes. The surplus are all original for export but they cut off the tag. Who cares? they're still super cheap.
We also bought tons of north face and kipling bags (10 for me, 10 for erick, and 10 for jojo)
We don't know where or when we will be needing the loot but we just bought anyway. The North Face bags cost us around $ 5 - $ 8 each . Although it's not original but it can pass.
After shopping, we decided to eat heavy lunch before going back to Saigon. We ate inside the market and ordered food fit for a platoon which cost us a mere $10!!
Well, our journey in Phnom Penh ends here. This is the bus station where we will board our bus and endure a 6 hour ride going back to Saigon. While waiting for our bus, their office offers us free usage of the internet.
In Saigon, we will fly to Singapore to visit Universal Studios! Can't wait...
