Building

It's amazing how they build houses bridges, and fences here, just by tying bamboo and leaves together with grass.
There's been a few bridges that gave me a scare, bamboo is flexible so the bridges move , but they are pretty sturdy.
The houses withstand the rain using broad leaves weaved together in rows.
I took some pictures because I thought it was really interesting.
In some parts of Cambodia all the buildings outside of town were like this or made of sheet metal scraps.
They would also build a wood frame and nail empty 50 lb feed sacks tight onto the frame to make walls.
