Sambo

Elma, my CouchSurfing host, is good friends with Sambo a 60-year-old elephant and survivor of the Khmer Rouge. Twice a week, Elma brings baskets full of fruit to Sambo's owner. Their story is pretty miraculous. As a 10-year-old boy, her owner used to sneak into the forest and feed Sambo. In the mid-1970s, Cambodians could barely feed themselves, let alone a two ton animal, but he did. Years passed and he didn't see her. Then 20 years later he found her wandering around outside the city somewhere. They've been together ever since. Yay happy tears!

I fed Sambo, I kid you not - 200 bananas.
