Cambodia & Grandparents Don't Mix

I just got off the phone with my grandparents, a conversation that was mostly spent trying to explain to them why exactly I am going to Cambodia. Lets just say that they didn't take the news very well. My grandparents, like most American grandparents I would wager, haven't really heard or thought about Cambodia since sometime around the Vietnam War. If that. They asked me if Pol Pot was still in power. Pol Pot was executed in 1979.

I know my grandmother is going to be up all night worrying about this, and probably for about the next 68 nights as well. That kind of makes me feel like a schmuck, because I don't want to make my grandmother upset.
