Best Color Of Blush For Olive Complexions

See Asian tuk-tuk

Among the things we were surprised to Cambodia: ATMs dispense U.S. dollars instead of riel (local currency), which is obtained in small denominations, only when a merchant makes us money after a transaction. In shops, even those that are frequented by "local" prices listed are in U.S. dollars.

Marianne and Emily on their way to the temples of Angkor by tuk-tuk
And
then we returned the tuk-tuk, for the first time in Thailand (there are no tuk-tuk in Vietnam, and very few in Burma). But the tuk-tuk Cambodian individuals. In fact, these trailers with two or four seats, topped by a roof, tied behind a motorcycle, which means that we are also called "Remork" - while the tuk-tuk vehicles are usually three wheels made of one piece. There is virtually no taxis on the streets of Phnom Penh, everyone takes "Remork. It is also the vehicle that we borrowed to visit the temples of Angkor. There is no air conditioning, but at least we had the wind (it was within 40 degrees + humidity during our stay in Cambodia).

It was very fun to borrow new means of transport, which change depending on the country. Here are photos of tuk-tuk encountered at different locations. Unfortunately, I do not have pictures of fun miniature cars with three wheels that rolled through the streets of Shangri-La in Yunnan Province, China. We also found that Nepal has banned some years ago the tuk-tuk on the streets of Kathmandu. During our previous visit, in 2000, we borrowed these black vehicles decorated with a yellow line, but they were really pollutants.

I do not think the tuk-tuk vehicles are very safe, but they are a must!
