today we spent our day climbing a mountain and touring the killing caves from when the Khmer Rouge was happening. The Khmer Rouge was the Cambodian war. we climbed to see the killing caves. That's where the Khmer Rouge threw the people in these caves from the very top and they died when they hit the bottom from the impact. they were also beaten before they were thrown into the caves. One of the facts about the Khmer Rouge is that when they killed the people they left them to rot and when the war was over. People all went down to
pick up all the bones and put them in a big pile for i don't know why. it was very sad to go down there because so many people died. they were all doctors and artists
and teachers and all the kids from 6 to the age of 11 that were the kids of those people.
we also saw the fruit bat they were so huge they were like a foot and a half in wing span and they were thick to.
i also tried a new food today it is called a pamelo. it is like a cross between an orange and grapefruit but a lot drier but it was very good. .then we went back to our hotel.
