I've entered the contest! Wackiest transport ever? Probably the bamboo train in Cambodia.

Amazing. I had no idea you could find rickshaws in these parts. Shows what I know.

Nope! Best. Job. Ever. (Besides "freelance travel writer," of course…) Seriously, it was a great time. Good money, outdoors, exercise. Only problem is you pay a flat rate for rent on your shaw, and then make as much as you make after it's paid. So if it rains… you're done. There are hand-pulled rickshaws (as opposed to the pedal versions) in a few Canadian cities, and in places like Daytona, etc, I think!

Okay, this may be a stupid question, but you're kidding about the rickshaw running, aren't you?!
