The memory of how I ended up here is very painful to recall. I was on holiday in Siem Reap, Cambodia with my cousin and her boyfriend. During lunch after doing a tour on the Ton Le Sap Lake, my cousin's boyfriend starts breaking down. He had just read a text on his cellphone and I knew immediately what had happened.
