Cambodia Discussion Pt 1

I did my homework! Yikes!
Well, it was more like I come across something that will be worth our visit during our stay in Phnom Penh.
It is the 'Tower Skull' or more known as the Genocide S21 during the Khmer Rouge Regime. To those who have did a bit of snooping around about the accommodation, you will definitely come across the word Khmer. It seems this Khmer thing, happens to be a regime. As Haha will readily know, 'Rouge' means 'red' in French. It's a genocide, boys and girls, and that means, killings based on race.

Khmer Rouge Regime it seems started at 1975 and during the regime, has killed approximately 1.5million Cambodians. That, boys and girls, is so many times worse than Hitler's time.

NicoleKiss put it better in her entry (click on the word 'entry') with pictures and all that. So I hope you guys could take your time a bit to read about the regime and enlighten ourselves before we visit the place.
