Cambodia

Skulls in the Killing Fields memorial near Phnom Penh. I have a lot to say about this memorial, and none of it is nice. Removing 8 thousand heads from corpses to create a tourist attraction is disgusting. And it is a tourist attraction — you are charged money to see the skulls, and there is a souvenir shop on the premises, with opium pipes, funny t-shirts, etc.
