It's a Holiday Thang

Teacher Thang told me, "Tomorrow holiday."  I asked some teachers about the holiday.  They said, "It is King's holiday."  I looked it up on Google and found that it is the anniversary of His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni's coronation.  I asked if people did anything special.  "No, is public holiday.  All school closed."  O.K.  That's fine with me.  I had to do a bunch of laundry.  There is no "laundry machine" in Cambodia like in America.  Luckily it was a sunny day. 

I heard a knock at the door and found a little girl standing there, all wide-eyed, wanting to see where teacher lives.  Her name was Ish.  I gave her some water, and she watched t.v. for a while.  She thought that was pretty neat.
