A must for travelers to Cambodia is a visit to the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center, one of the countless Killing Fields. Particularly, the prisoners from the Tuol Sleng interrogation...

Yesterday, while working, we casually learned that October 15th is a holiday in Cambodia, so we wouldn't be working. This is the death anniversary of the King's father.

A reflective 5th day in Phnom Penh. The history of the country occupies us, our journey is not a hop on-hop off, we do not stand above things and begin to see 'better'. We see...

The first two working days are behind us! Here’s a brief wrap-up: The small practice is located in the backyard of a pagoda, which is like a temple for Buddhism. Accordingly, we...
