woo! internet 2 days in a row! amazing!

not too much new today.. we went to the killing fields yesterday and tuol sleng, which was the school that was turned into the prison. What an awful place, and what awful history. They built a monument to house skulls of some of the people who died in Pol Pot's regime (the Khmer Rouge) and it really makes you sad that people can be capable of such atrocities (and this was only 30 years ago).

We also went to a couple of markets yesterday, and the National Museum.

Today we are planning on going to the Palace, the Silver Pagoda, and getting manicures and pedicures done (4$ for both!). Veronika and I are also going to book tickets (or maybe a tour of the Mekong Delta) to get to Saigon, that will hopefully leave tomorrow. I want to be in Saigon by Wednesday to dance! Yay!
