I went to Victory Beach today; a really nice little beach close by where I am staying. So, now I have this place and Goa as beach places. This little beach is certainly as nice as the Benaulim beach that I go to in Goa; and, Cambodia has a lot to offer by way of History. Goa does to, but not of the same kind. So, now, unless I find something that I like more in Sarawak, I will probably be coming back here. Besides, Cambodia appears to have some pretty good children's services for the kids that are dropping out of school to make money.
I was talking with a French person at the beach and we agreed that the Chinese probably engineered the Tuol Seng genocide as a way to get even with the French. I am not sure about what but I think I agree. Of course, in these murky matters, the truth rarely comes out. It certainly would be worth somebody's while to try and dig up some more of the hidden history of TS. Not to forget that Haing S. Ngor, the famous doctor who playedDith Pran in the Killing Fields, was, himself, found dead in San Francisco in the mid-90's. Nothing more than a brief statement was made in the American press.
These are my thoughts for today.
