- Visiting the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Today's video was a rollercoaster for us to film and put together in a way which was as respectful as possible.
Coming to Cambodia, we knew very little about Cambodia's history and the tragic events which happened during the civil war. Due to this, we had been recommended to visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum whilst we were in Phnom Penh.
Now this museum is definitely not for the light hearted and humbled us in many ways. Learning more about the war and some of the atrocities which happened really made us feel grateful for how simple our lives have been in comparison.
Hopefully we managed to keep it on the positive side for the remainder of the video, but we do think it's important to visit these places and express our emotions on this platform with you all - I'm sure it's a side of us that not many people have seen as we are normally happy and cheery!
Thank you for watching, let us know if you've visited the museum in the comments. If not, we'd definitely recommend a visit.
Much love as always,
Jacob and Emma

I left the country back in 1979 after I had to live through the genocide under Pol Pot killing madness. Most of my family members did not survive as we were forced to move out of the Phnom Penh City in 1975 to work in the rice fields.
I've returned to visit my sole surviving sister every year for the last ten years since my retirement from the US to heal the past. It's very safe to visit Cambodia now as the country has come a long way since the prolonged civil war was officially ended upruptly in 1998.
Be mindful of your surroundings . Be kind whenever possible. It's always possible as life is short to do the things we don't love doing.
Happy and safe travels from a genocide survivor ✌️
Wow, thank you for commenting and sharing your touching story with us. We can only imagine how it must have been, but in the most sensitive way possible, part of us would be fascinated to hear more of your amazing story. We feel so lucky for someone with your story to comment on our video, it's so heart warming.
We're so blessed to have been able to visit and appreciate your beautiful country's history and culture.
We can't thank you enough for your comment. It has really moved us tonight. We wish you the best for the future and hope to see you around more on our channel ❤️
It was very moving on your Toul sleng reaction , I lost many relatives during that time
I'm so sorry to hear of your losses. It was difficult enough being there with no connections to the genocides, but it must be difficult for you at times.
Thank you for watching and commenting, it amazes us how far the internet can bring people together like this ❤️☺️
Thank you for visited our country ❤🙏
Thank you all from Cambodia! We loved it 😁❤️
thank you for supporting our country
Museums like these are not for everyone. If you know you won't be able to handle it, it's advisable to give it a pass. If you force it, those disturbing images will linger on for some time and it might spoil the mood of the outing. So visit with care!😅😕
Definitely not for the light hearted, takes a little more resilience, but it's definitely recommended in our opinion as it's always good to discover and appreciate a country's history. Visit with care indeed 😅
Agreed. On my first trip to Cambodia I visited the Killing Fields. On my 2nd and 3rd trip, never again. The museum was just very depressing to see.
Welcome to Cambodia 🇰🇭
My uncle & aunty did not survive. The civil war destroyed everything. Reading all the history I am so grateful for this simple life. Thank you for sharing our sad history to the world.
Wow, we are so sorry to hear of that and send out our condolences. We have definitely had it lucky in our lives so far, and places like S21 really put it into perspective. Thank you for watching, we hope to see you around more ❤️
I think the experience at S21 enlightened you. The next day Emma was singing and you were playing with children.
Definitely so, it makes you feel grateful for the life we have managed to live without such conflict.❤️
Please enjoy your traveling in Cambodia 😊
Thank you, we are loving our time here! Feel free to subscribe and follow along for more of our videos coming out in the near future! ☺️
We need these types of museums and monuments to remind us about our collective mistakes in history and society. Without the historical reminders, and if there were a censorship or removal of any reminders, then we will only keep repeating our mistakes in humanity. Stay strong ❤️
Definitely, it's a good reminder to learn from the mistakes of the past and show people how much of an impact it can have on the following generations. It was a harrowing, but insightful and humbling experience. Thank you for watching ❤️

Thank you for watching ❤️🇰🇭
and our culture
Thank you for contributing to your beautiful country! 🥰
😊 museums such as that is supposed to educate people, so hopefully it will not happen again. Some have a hard time accepting reality.
Whats the name of the film...?
The Khmer Rouge Death Machine maybe the one he is referring to. You can watch it on RUclips.
Or the 1984 movie called "The Killing Fields"?
It was called "First they killed my father". A very touching and emotional movie. Definitely worth the watch.
I think the food that you were eating is called Kaw. It can be made with beef, pork, chicken or fish. It’s yummy 😋 ❤
Oh that's good to know, thank you! It certainly was good, such a rich flavour and the pork was so tender 🤩
@@DisappearforDays Braised pork dish.
Rouge as in red in French. Like "Moulin Rouge"
We figured that out half way through but the filming had already been done 😅 we feel so silly, but in my defence, rogues sounds better! 😂
@8min50sec A Mary Poppins song 🎶
Someone noticed! Emma is thrilled 😂
ខ្ញុំជាជនជាតិខ្មែរ
Thank you for watching ❤️
😊😊😊
Thank you for watching! 😄❤️
It was a high school.
We read it slightly wrong, but yeah it was a high school. Such a sad part of Cambodian history.
The Pentagon in Chatham 😅
😮
Thank you for watching. Not our normal upbeat selves for the first half of the video, but a good experience nevertheless 😊
wow😅
Definitely worth a visit if you are in Phnom Penh!
Because of the two meal in a day that’s why the tuk tuk driver tried to find customers
We completely appreciate they need to make a living, we all do. But it felt like a waste of time that he followed us for 5 minutes down the road when we said we already didn't need a tuk-tuk. Surely he might have found someone else during that time! Oh well, persistence is key we guess😅
Vietnam monnumant was very erected
It was, and has stood till this day! Impressive building 😀
Food price rises with inflation. 😊😊😊😊
Yeah, it's crazy! I was in Cambodia around 7 years ago with family and the prices seemed much cheaper even then! 😓
