LOL!

Amen to that my friend.

Some of them look as if though if they stick their heads too far down in the sand while in that position...well, let's just say that they may get their craniums lodged in their own orifice and never be able to get out!

Craziness.

WOW! What an undertaking...and I imagine with the kind of weather they are going to get up there...it will be a very hard job to maintain that thin at the end of each winter season.

But a heck of a thing to have for summers and early fall for people to hike on.

Amazing.

Do you know that that "vehicle" is nicknamed "Rolls-Royce" by the Chinese in Cambodia. A single trip cost 500 Riel (~USD0.125). I take it once a while. They are not allowed on roads in the center of the city.
