Phare Ponleu Selpak - Cambodias finest circus not involving animals! Worth checking out I suppose.
The bamboo train is a unique and creative form of ad-hoc local transportation. It consists of a small (perhaps 2.5m x 4m), motorcycle engine-powered bamboo cart that rides on railroad rails, picking up and dropping off passengers, cargo, animals, motorcycles along the way. When it is bound to meet an on-coming train or bamboo train, it can be disassembled and taken off the rails in a minute or two, allowing the other to pass. When touring the countryside ask your driver to take you to a rail crossing where you can meet a bamboo train to take a ride.
