    🇰🇭In 1975 the Khmer Rouge rolled in to Phnom Penh to begin four years of brutal oppression in Cambodia. Although there were eventually defeated by the Vietnamese in 1979, Pol Pot and his army never went away completely. Hanging on in a northern village until the 1990s. I went to investigate and meet their descendants.

    Thank you for visiting my country. You asked a woman for Pol Pot grave, but the App translated "I'm looking a road to Police". The woman responded "I just moved here and go to that way, they might know". When you're at the water crossing, you asked the less shirt guy about Is there any Pol Pot people here". He said "Yes, there's, but they won't let you interview them". He pointed a small hut with red brick roof across where you asked a question. That is Pol Pot place he died. You should contact Patrick who is a young American living in Phnom-Penh with his Cambodian wife to tag along. He speaks fluent Khmer language. It will be helpful for you.

      I thought about moving to Cambodia but its a regime that enforces vaccination, sadly a deal breaker. Maybe any Cambodians can share their knowledge, was it possible to remain unvaccinated or did the police / state force the injections on everyone? Google says the country has one of the highest covid vaccination rates on earth.

      It's funny how foreigners mostly w8tes will travel to India and purposely go to the worst places to travel (old delhi, varanasi, Calcutta) which is common knowledge not only amongst Indians themselves but amongst travelers globally, just so they can make negative videos for sensation and views. When the fact of the matter is India has beautiful beaches, resorts in the south (kerela goa etc ie tourist areas) beautiful mountains and snowy areas in the north like Shimla, Risikesh in states like himachal pradesh and uttarkhand, theres ther north east which has arunachal pradesh etc. Yet despite common knowledge amongst those who travel to India these vloggers choose to avoid such places for the former just for content and to make videos such as this

    As someone who lives in Cambodia and has for quite some time, this was very interesting. Most Khmer people do not want to talk about the past, as it left so many scars on the country that still affect it to this day. Despite that, Cambodians are some of the nicest people you could ever hope to meet. Even simple farmers out in the rural areas who don't speak any English whatsoever will try their best to help you in any way they can. Truly a hidden gem

      ​@@Mgoblagulkablong Hey there, during the COVID-19 pandemic here in Cambodia, the government treated both local and foreigner the same way. You will receive vaccination for free, and if you happened to caught the virus, you'll then be hospitalize free of charge until you're fully recover.
      If you do not wish to get any vaccination, it is possible and up to your choice. But protection is always better than curing, right?

I met an old Japanese guy at the maglev museum and he offered to take me to the train station but then got a call from his friend who wanted to get dinner so we went to a restaurant with his old female friend. I also became friends with the owner of a hotel in Hokkaido and he took me sledding down mountain roads at midnight with his family which was the craziest thing I’ve ever done. I also got to volunteer in a huge Shinto festival and dress up and everything. If you’re not an extrovert… pretend to be one.

    I visited Cambodia in 1991. On our boat ride back from Angkor Wat, during a refueling stop, there was a loud explosion. Everybody panicked, maybe thinking it was Khmer Rouge, but turns out somebody got careless with a match. The boat engines were toast and my friend and I grabbed the only taxi in town and negotiated a ride to Phnom Penh. The old driver spoke a little French and I asked him jokingly if the KR were about and he said sure. I spent most of a day at S-21, very grim. Incredible how such nice people can have such a bloody past.
