Today is the birthday of Cambodia’s King Sihamoni, so three 
days of birthday celebrations begin today, followed by the Ploughing Day Holiday which features a cermony at the park next to my apartment and the Royal Museum. We’re open as usual but a lot of businesses will be closed for the extended holiday. I’m hoping we get a royal sighting because it’s such a treat for staff to see the young king go by in his car, hanging half way out the window to greet everyone with an energetic wave.Happy Birthday to His Royal Highness King Sihamoni.
