Thanks for the videos , My wife and I have been enjoying all the videos from Thailand to Cambodia , keep it up.
Hey Dean, thanks to you and your wife for the support. Really glad to hear you're enjoying the videos. I really appreciate it!
Thanks for the share of Cambodia. :( Ankor Wat was amazing! What are you saying...Paul Finch of the GEU isn't your comrade? lol
It's been quite the journey so far. Angkor Wat was incredible and the video doesn't really capture it. I haven't been anyones comrade for many years. What has happened recently and how we were all treated just enforces that. Several people have woke up since #BCGEU and other unions walked them out... and I guess that's a positive long term. Hard way to learn that lesson though. Hope all is well.
Sir, thank you for your video. I visited Cambodia in the early 2000s and intentionally skipped this place. The area with three water containers with the two poles upright have a significant memory for me. In Cambodia then, students must pass four exams to finish high school. First, they must past the exam to move on from elementary to high school. Second, they must pass another exam to receive a high school diploma as they called it at the end of fourth year in high school. Third, they must pass this exam after 6 years in high school to move on to the last year of high school. Fourth, the last exam of high school. They must pass this exam to be able to move to university. I took my high school exam here at this school. The two poles upright on each side of those three water containers was a structure for climbing robe in Physical Education. There were two robes there. Yes, I climbed that robe as part of the high school diploma exam. As you face the containers, there's a stairwell at the end of the building to your right as you face the water containers. I took my exams in that first classroom on the second floor as you climb that stairwell. I was a brilliant student who had strong and weaknesses in school. But I passed like a flying color. I was not a student of this high school.
Thank you for sharing your personal connection to the school. It makes this video more important to me and hopefully others. I did struggle doing the videos on the genocide. I had to retake shots and edit some clips due to my emotions getting the better of me. It's comments like this that really make it all worth it.
I appreciate you sharing as it adds to the importance of the video and remembering what happened.
There is more I would like to say but have difficulties putting it into words.
Thank you for a great comment. I enjoyed reading it.
@@andrewabroad50 Many foreign visitors don't understand how this tragedy could happen to innocent people like poor peasants. If you went through it, you wouldn't know that those poor peasants were killers. They were chosen to be superior of the society because they suffered from one generation to another endlessly. Now, they are on the top. All they know was revenge and kill.
Thanks 🙏 for visiting Cambodia 🇰🇭 and welcome, From Scottsbluff Nebraska
It was our pleasure!
Thanks for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it!
S-21, Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum, a solemn site to visit. I've stopped in a few times for the experience. There is an English-language Protestant church I'd go to on Sundays in PP, about 500 meters from S-21. You're videos are well done.
We stayed in a little apartment about 1/2 a block from S-21. Apartment cost $18 USD/night. The visit to S-21 was quite the experience! Thanks for the kind comment on the videos. Wish I could do them better, but I'm 1 man with limited editing knowledge.
Hi Andrew. Thank you for sharing your videos. Watching this video reminded me how I lived my life with the Khmer Rouge. I was just a little girl, but the Khmer Rouge doesn’t care what age to tortured the Khmer people. I was lucky to survived and now living in the USA since 1981.
The Khmer people are very kind and friendly people. Some of the most beautiful people I have met. Thank you for sharing your story. It makes this video even more important to me! It was an honor to visit Cambodia. ❤🇰🇭
Enjoy your trip Andrew.
We have, thank you again
An enlightening video Andrew....to say the least. Like you, that was a dream of mine growing up to go to Cambodia and it's a beautiful place. The S21 certainly would be a sobering experience. I can never understand how a human can do what the Khmer rouge did to fellow humans. .....and like you said this happened in our life time. I was 15 in 1975 when Pol Pot was at his peak of ruin. We didn't know too much about what was going on in Kampuchea as it was known then and only found out about the horror, many years later. Great video and looking forward to seeing the Vietnam ones. Keep up the great work and say hi to Lindsay. 🥃
I have the utmost respect for the Khmer people... so incredibly friendly! It was quite difficult to do these videos. I had to edit out quite a bit. My emotions definitely got the better of me. Although a bit seeped out in the edited video...
Lindsay says hello back to you and your wife! Thanks for mentioning her in your last few comments! It means a lot to us.
@@andrewabroad50 I could tell you were getting emotional. We were as well as the viewer.....how could you not at a place like that. I guess you'd have to think that every Cambodian person today would have known someone that was at that facility...an uncle, father, mother. It would still be very raw for some people.
Yes, they use just a few feet high stilts to support houses in an area less likely to be flooded. Yes, some much lower terrain areas need much longer stills (up to 30 feet) for houses to stay above the flood water.
Thank you for answering 1 of our questions. Yes, some were really high.
I’m glad we went here, I learned a lot.
To be there definetly adds to the reality. ❤🇰🇭
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it!
Tuk Tuk he Driving so nice
All the tuk tuk drivers in Cambodia drove pretty good, now Thialand, that was a different story... lol 😂
I loved how you touched on your socialist friends comments without saying too much but I read between the lines. Very diplomatic.
I had to edit a lot out. 😉
I'm only human and my emotions DID get the best of me while filming.
🥰🥰🥰
Thanks for the comment!
❤🇰🇭
Did prices go up? For some reason I thought people said it was $12 to take the big coach bus from Siem Reap to Phnom Penh.
It ranges from $10-$15 USD online. We went to the terminal and it cost $17 USD
Myanmar junta regim are about to do the same horror for their people today... oddly enough no foreign power dare to infiltrate
I have heard some things about the happenings in Myanmar. I know that some people have fled into Thailand and a lot of foreigners have left... to be honest, I know very little. Perhaps I will look into it further now. Thanks for the comment Halim, I will research it more now. We did want to go to Myanmar, but those plans have changed.
