So, Chan has been wanting to go for a ride on the Bamboo Train for ages, almost since we first met. Yesterday, we took a ride. $5.00 US per head. Unfortunately, the guys who take you only earn 1,500 Riel ($1.25 USD) for each (round) trip. The rest goes to the government and police. Go figure. So, if you end up taking one of those trips, please tip the guy (or girl) who takes you. For me, it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed the entire trip. For Chan, though, she was scared that we were going to derail somewhere along the way. I will admit, the tracks do get a bit jerky. And, many of the rail joints are not exactly lined up properly. Of course, lack of maintenance over time, does tend to cause such things. My trusty driver, Kamnat, says they are supposed to stop the Bamboo Train this coming July, to refurbish the tracks so proper trains can begin using the tracks again. Of course, they have been saying this for ages. So, who knows?
