But many museums around the world show off great art and sculpture; only one hosts a massive colony of rare bats in its attic that stream out by the hundreds of thousands at sundown. Visitors gather on the sidewalks around the National Museum in Phnom Penh on clear evenings to watch the stunning exodus; and it saves them the $2 cost of admission...

Satellite dishes bristle from roofs and backyards, sucking from the ether a steady stream of inane Thai game shows. Internet shops spring up daily, each filled with earnest backpackers clicking away. Highway 13 from Vientiane is now paved, putting the capital just a day's drive away...
