I'm skipping ahead a bit, but today something happened.

I went to Section 21. This is a museum which used to be a prison/torture complex for the Khmer Rouge which used to be a school for Khmer kids. I walked through this place, and the rooms grew progressively worse. I saw torture rooms which were once classrooms. Then cells made when brick walls were thrown in to divide classrooms into tiny pieces. Then I saw cells made where wooden walls were set up into about 5 square feet for cells.

Also, I saw gallows. And skulls. And clothes that were left over. Not to mention mugshots.

Pictures are forthcoming.
