Cambodia lost a whole generation from the genocide 1975 to 1979. Evil Pol Pot destroyed everything including all human resources and infrastructures. I grew up in PP back in the 60s and I was in my last high school year when they took over the country. Most of my family members did not make it. Dad was a doctor and mom was a teacher. They all died from starvation and executions. I left there by mid 1979 but I have returned to visit the country every year for the last ten years since my retirement. My first returned trip was 1995 to see my only 96 years old grandma and everything was much the same when I left. They started to develop in the 2000s after the prolonged civil war was officially ended in 1998. Cambodia has such a sad and painful history not so long ago. The majority locals still live with a few bucks a day comparing to us in the western world. Life is too short to last long to do the things we don't love doing. It's a bit too long but sharing is caring. Greetings from a genocide survivor!

[@veznac5805]

Thank you for sharing. I'm 20 years old and I sometimes hear stories from my dad and uncles of the genocide; it's horrible stuff and heart breaking. Sometimes I feel so grateful that I didn't grow up in that time and place. Sometimes seeing pictures of the common folks living in that kind of condition, compared to America gives me a more gratitude mindset to what I have now. I was born in cambodia in 2002, and left to America in 2006/2007. I haven't been back since. But this year I'll be visiting my relatives in December.

[@gregh7457]

I remember pol pot well and i cheered pretty loudly when i saw the vietnamese army going in to liberate cambodia on tv in america

[@OnePackWanderers]

As others said, thank you for sharing. Visiting the Killing Fields made us realize just how lucky we are, to simply be born in the country that we were. It's horrible what Pol Pot & the Khmer Rouge did to Cambodia & the Cambodian people. And the world mostly stood by and did nothing. That's one of the things that really stood out to us.

Hi Tia and Cheveyo, sorry to hear about your stomach trouble. I am glad your previous and this vlogs highlighted a few not so positive aspects of life in Cambodia in general and in Phnom Penh, in particular. (1) the lack of consideration for neighbours (advertising the opening of a bank branch through loud speakers, starting at 7am) (2) the lack of hygiene in some places (disposal of trash) (3) car parking on sidewalks.

10:32 my version of this legend: Her name is grandma "Penh", and this region is a low land prone to flood. So, she kept gathering soil every day in trying to make a dry hill. Later Khmer people called it a mountain (= in Khmer meaning Phnom), and that is why it became the name "Phnom Penh".

[@jossmalaga8743]

Hi T&C ! You are right to recall the memory of the 1.5 million people who died under the Pol Pot government, mainly from malnutrition and lack of health care, but also from the mistreatment of political prisoners. It must then also be remembered that Cambodia, a neutral country, was emerging very weakened from an incredibly deadly war waged by the USA, without any justification, and from 5 years of massive and uninterrupted bombardments on Cambodia between 1970 and 1975. Nearly 4 million tons of bombs were dropped on Cambodia by US bombers, on 13,000 villages, killing at least one million civilians. And leaving countless numbers of people with severe disabilities. These bombs, which did not all explode during the bombardments, still kill a few dozen people every year, especially children who step on them while playing. Happy world tour ! We live in Asia and it's interesting to see the places we know with your eyes !

[@OnePackWanderers]

Indeed. We both spent some time reading about the Khmer Rouge and the events leading up to what happened. 1.5 million is unfortunately at the low end of numbers killed under that regime. There were many bad actors in that part of Cambodia’s history. It seems every world and regional power at the time was acting with little regard for Cambodia or the people living there, including the US.

[@raymondtan1295]

I watched a couple of your videos and I have to complement what a lovely couple you two are. Love your videos. I too live through Khmer Rouge and my parents and three brothers died of starvation in 1976. I currently live in California since 1980. Wish you two the best of luck, be safe and be together forever. Look forward to watch more of your videos.

[@OnePackWanderers]

Thank you for sharing. If you don't mind me asking, have you been back to Cambodia since you left, or do you have any desire to visit? I apologize if that's an inappropriate question. I was trying to think how I would feel in that situation, and I don't know what I would do. Thank you again for the kind words, and for sharing a small piece of your experience.

[@raymondtan1295]

@@OnePackWanderers no need to apologize. Yes, I visited Cambodia once in 1998 but only for 2 weeks so I didn’t get to see much. During that time, I toured the house where my family used to live and where my parents were born. It was so sad. At the same time I told myself how lucky I was to survive 4 years of nightmare. Anyhow, I am 57 now and waiting 3 years for retirement and would like to do a funeral service for them at the village where they passed. It was the other side of Tonle Sap opposite Siem Riep where you two went. You’re welcome to ask me more questions if needed.

The Kiling Fields is a very sobering experience, and i believe a must do for any tourist. It gives one an appreciation of what the Cambodians have been through, at the hands of there own people. To this day, they are still prosecuting leaders of the Khmere Rouge,in an international court in PP

[@OnePackWanderers]

It's horrible what happened. We were surprised to learn that. It seems like it has been a long, difficult process bringing some of the people to justice. It makes it more sad knowing that a lot of these monsters have simply died of old age. Or likely will die of old age. That being said, it's incredible what the Cambodian people have overcome, and what they've built for themselves after enduring a genocide only 50 years ago.

[@jubjangfest6422]

Thanks for the waterfront walk. I was at the same location in the fall of 1992 serving with the UN. The view across the river then was all fields, so it was interesting to see high rises today.

Wow! Phnom Penh has developed very quickly indeed. Being in Cambodia in the early '90s, especially for the UN, must've been a very interesting experience.

[@bgd8308]

@@OnePackWanderers It was very interesting! There had been no structured effort to maintain roads or other infrastructure post the Khmer Rouge period (and in fact the KR were still active in certain provinces) so moving anywhere in the city or outskirts was challenging. The next time you travel there you might want to go south to the coast, it’s a good trip.

It's amazing that you guys can eat street food both in Bangkok and Cambodia with no issues. I had food poisoning once when I visited family in Bangkok and ate Thai sukiyaki in an established restaurant (in a mall) with meat not completely cooked. This is by no way saying it is not safe to eat food there but I guess we have to be careful on certain types of food. We are so used to eating very hygienic food in the US. Some of the best food in Thailand are street food. Also interesting that Cambodian food you guys ate look very similar to Vietnamese food. Take care!

We generally do ok, but occasionally have upset stomachs from the food. I think it's all about building an immunity to it 😂 You're right that it's an adjustment from the food in the US.

You are absolutely right, upset stomachs are simply a risk whenever you eat abroad. It's a risk we gladly take because overall it's worth it to us. Good point on the ice cream! Luckily that stuff was OK, but ice in particular is a pretty big risk 😅

Oh no! Sorry some food bugged you. 😔 Bill continues to be impressed with Tia's chopstick skills - but we're relieved to know she's not perfect and met her match with the squirmy noodles. 😂 The food looked great in this video!

After watching her slice bread with chopsticks, it was a relief for me too 😂
