Tuole Slang. The Infamous S-21. From ‘75 to ‘79 the Khmer Rouge tortured and annihilated at least 15,000 peeps here. Like the Nazis, they a fetishistic thang for recording it all… .
The Incidence of Incidents

In Cambodia it’s very high, The I of I is High. Everywhere you look, everywhere you go, shit’s going down and a lot of it seems willfully fatal, or at least overly fatalistic. A lot of it, though certainly not all, is to be seen out there in traffic: the blind merges and U-turns, the comically overloaded Camrys, the buses splitting the center-line at 120 kph with 8 bald unmatched re-capped Chinese-made tires, a hand-on-horn and left blinker flashing; the puffed-up self-styled VIP flunkies blasting through villages in their 100 thousand dolla Range Rovers with Police escorts and sirens on full. All regardless of the naked children playing in the roads, the Brahma carts; the dotty helium balloon salesmen jinking along the non-existent shoulder with their sloping pushcarts. These people, in general, are callous to life and suffering while being incredibly warm and amiable, family-crazy and respectful of their elders. It’s kind of a 3rd world conundrum, but Cambodians have a special flair for it. Maybe we would too, having seen what they’ve seen, and having thrown our eggs that aren’t Animist into the Karma Rice Bowl. (more…)
