Feb 17. Phnom Penh. Rented a moto bike and driver. Stopped first at Toul Sleng Genocide Museum (S-21). Caught the 10am video about S-21 and the killing fields. Very power full experience and somber start to the day. I split my shorts during the bus ride yesterday so I stopped at the Russian market and got some new digs. Next up the National museum. Forgot to pay the entrance fee but I didn't feel bad. Not worth my time. The Palace turned out to be closed until 1pm so I got some lunch and checked out the Mekong river side. Checked out the Palace after it opened up. The highlight was a replica of Angkor Wat and a gold and diamond encrusted Buddha. Happy pizza.
