God, I do remember all of the bamboo scaffolding. Here's a picture of the building site for the new high speed rail station at Austin / Kowloon I took when I was there:

All the scaffolding behind the green nets was bamboo!

I'm glad you had a great time and that I could help you with that! Have fun in Cambodia.

I just realized you can see the bamboo in this photo as well!

I saw so many huge buildings with the bamboo scaffolding but was never able to get a good enough photo. My boyfriend may have some but I haven't gone through his photos yet. I know bamboo is incredibly strong (and cheap) but it still is a bit crazy to think of entire 100 story buildings being built by guys hanging out on bamboo.
