...thanks Lui for the badge!
Life is too short! Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. Laugh when you can. Apologize when you should and let go of what you can't change. Love deeply and forgive quickly. Take chances. Give everything and have no regrets. Life is too short to be unhappy. You have to take the good with the bad. Smile when your sad. Love what you've got and always forgive. Learn from your mistakes but never regret. People change and things go wrong. But always remember…Life Goes On...*winks*
If you follow the rules, you miss half the fun! I am who I am, I am what I am, I have what I have...hate me or love me! *winks*

- Choeng Ek Genocidal Center (best known Killing Fields)-
******
The Killing Fields are a number of sites in Cambodia where large numbers of people were killed and buried by the Khmer Rouge regime, during its rule of the country from 1975 to 1979, immediately after the end of the Vietnam War. Estimates of the total number of deaths resulting from Khmer Rouge policies, including disease and starvation, range from 1.7 to 2.5 million out of a population of around 8 million. In 1979, communist Vietnam invaded Democratic Kampuchea and toppled the Khmer Rouge regime.
The best known monument of the Killing Fields is Choeng Ek Genocidal Center. Today, it is the site of a Buddhist memorial to the terror, and Tuol Sleng has a museum commemorating the genocide.
