Yes I can see that.
The country got a cruel past not even that long ago. Went to the Tuol Sleng museum and just walking around there is unreal when you realise what happenend in that country.
The people however were amazing. My gf and I like to go out and eat at the local places and we met a teacher who we chatted with and had the most amazing stories but was still so positive in life.
