I met two monkeys at the restaurant where I had lunch today - Alladin and Mimi. Alladin was fat, friendly and complacent, just sitting at the bottom of the cage eating peanuts. Mimi was evil and rambunctious.

Went to Wat Phnom with a bunch of the interns, it was beautiful. Got caught in a rainstorm and waited it out on the balcony outside the Wat, watching little Cambodian children pretend to swim in the puddles and chase each other around splashing. There was an elephant hanging around outside, and it had shoes on. I never knew that elephants wore shoes. Also saw another monkey grooming two cats.

Then this afternoon I went to a resort called L'Imprevu with my roomate and three other people that are living in the Volunteer house. It was a great time. We played water polo/handball in teams (Canada v. Other). The pool is a little ways out of the city and it was an interesting drive.

The main program leader of Bridges Across Borders arrived in Phnom Penh today so we start the internship orientation tomorrow.
