It is Wednesday the 22nd of May and today is Visak Bochea, a really important day for Buddhists in Cambodia. It celebrates Buddha's birth, enlightenment, and death. People visit pagodas and monks are chanting all day. In our normal news today, Cambodia gets a Moody upgrade, 5,000 monks close roads, power line pinching, deadly tree and one of the best good news stories of the year.
