THANKS A BUNCH Scotters and Fio for the insight. I have been researching and reading quite a bit about both of these areas but your firsthand accounts are always greatly appreciated as I need to confirm what I read about. The Genocide Museum and Killing Fields are actually the only things on my to do list and I know it will be very horrifiying emotionally but I believe that I need to visit it because too many people in the world like to mentally blot out the difficult and pretend such things didn't or don't happen and I personally think that's why we have similar situations today - Darfur etc. I don't intend to walk too much at night beyond the main riverfront as I have read a lot about the usual dangers. Thanks again and if I have other questions, I'll ask. I can't wait to visit Cambodia and with your help, it will be a certainly be a trip to remember.
