Okay… I think I’ve honoured my part.
I didn’t make it halfway through (Choeung Ek) without having a bit of a cry though and I didn’t go into the Stupa.
One thing I respect (and I know it’s not for everyone), they don’t sugarcoat it. They just say it how it is.
I’m generally a sucker for the heavy stuff, but this wasn’t actually high on my list of plans. What on earth does my brain do sometimes?
Anyway if anything, present me is now thankful for my bougie hotel splurge at my next stop. (Recovery and helping the economy is going to be my mantra.)
