A HOLIDAY IN CAMBODIA

THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN'

Welcome to the Kingdom of Cambodia

Visit the Land of The Khmer and fall in love with this beautiful country and its people. And soon you will discover what so many visitors are experiencing these days: The Cambodian People are among the friendliest in the world.

This is a collection of some of the pictures I took during several expeditions to Cambodia.

If you would like to learn more about the Land of the Khmer, you can find a treasure of information via my Cambodia Links page. Enjoy!


A GLIMPSE OF THE PAST

Holiday in Cambodia

(Dead Kennedys)

So you been to school for a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know how the niggers feel cold
And the slums got so much soul

It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear

It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife

Your a star-belly sneech you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer on you
Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers til you starve
Then your head skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need my son:

Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack

Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot [etc.]

And it's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul

THEN AND NOW

Phnom Penh 1996
One of the scariest places in the world. Dark, dirty and dangerous.
