    Currently in Cambodia, went S21 prison and The Killing fields last week. Its hard to believe that this stuff happened less than 50 years ago, walking through both places made the hairs on my body stand up. So sad and scary to think what humans can do to another

    This is a pretty hard place to see and try to digest what all the signs say about the sights there. I have been here 3 times and I always leave really sad. Noticed you're around Siem Reap, where I am also. Maybe I will bump into while you're here. You have a great channel and make some really funny videos (just watched your Koh Kong and Pub Street video from a few days ago). Thanks so much for taking the time to go to the Killing Fields and making the video available.

    Thanks for the lesson. I went to Cambodia in 2009 and chose to skip the killing fields tour. I just wasn't ready to absorb the horror of events. Thank you for enduring the "in person" emotions for all of us watching this one. I know it's not your first time there as you stated but this video was my "first time." Some day I hope to prepare myself enough to visit. Who knows, maybe I'll resign this location to the videos only. Great videos as usual.

    Its a insane story, our American government cannot be trusted , the Chinese government joined the United States in supporting the Khmer Rouge.the United States again supported the Khmer Rouge in the UN as the "legitimate" representative of the Cambodian people. With U.S. backing, Cambodia would continue to be represented in the United Nations by a Khmer Rouge diplomat until 1993.The Khmer Rouge's ultra-nationalism made them violently suspicious of the Vietnamese Communists, even though the Khmer Rouge's conquest of Cambodia had only been possible with Hanoi's support.
