In some countries, the best way to move around is not always the fastest or the most modern. But it’s the most authentic(真实的). If you really want to experience the culture, take after the locals!
Bamboo Train
The bamboo train in Cambodia(柬埔寨) is made of bamboo. It can travel up to a speed(速度) of 40 kilometers per hour and is one of the cheapest ways to travel around the country.
Beer Bike
Discover European cities like London or Amsterdam while you drink and pedal (踩踏板) with your friends! These eco-friendly vehicles help you socialize while you are sightseeing.
Coco Taxi
The next time you visit Havana (哈瓦那), do travel around the city in a Coco Taxi. The taxi is called Coco because it is like a coconut! With two seats, three wheels and a 75cc moped engine, the Coco Taxi is a bit noisy, but cheaper than a taxi.
Chiva Express
The Chiva Express, an enjoyable form of public transport in Ecuador(厄瓜多尔), is a bus that rides mostly on rails, like a train!

Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then bitter(尖刻的)words, and then weeks of silence(沉默). One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream between the two farms. "It must be done by Bob," John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter(木匠) standing at the doorway.
"I'm looking for a few days' work," the carpenter said.
"I do have a iob for you," John said. "Look at the stream at that farm. That's done by my neighbor, Bob. He dug a stream between the two farms. I want you to build a fence-an 8-foot fence. I don't want to see his place or his face any more. I don't have such a neighbor!"
The carpenter said, "I think I know what to do, sir, and I'll be able to do a job that will please you."

At about sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge. And the neighbor, Bob, was coming across it, with his hand outstretched (伸出)."Hi, John!
Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other," said Farmer Bob.
