The astonishing versatility of bamboo

Look closely -- this is not a rocker, but a two-wheeled sedan chair. It's made of all bamboo, down to the wheels and the sunshade that can be pulled over the passenger.

In the same photo, we see baskets and fans. The shop, Coolite Bamboo Products, also carries a variety of bamboo screens that can be used indoors or out. Then there are hats, tables, chairs and blinds. And socks, of course. Bamboo socks are cool and comfortable.
