In May of 2003 I traveled back to Phnom Penh, Cambodia to continue some work I had started there in January. The trip was two weeks long, affording opportunities to visit the genocide museum and the killing fields, as well as the ruins of Angkor.

wat phnom. “phnom” means “hill” in khmer, so this is the temple on the hill.
