Motoring travellers need to be aware that to travel on Czech motorways you have to pay tax and have a label displayed in your window. You need to buy the tax label at the border. The only people available to sell you the disc are money changers. Try to pay for it in euros or pounds and they'll give you an extremely poor rate of exchange. Have Czech krowns and they've no choice but to charge you the official rate. Welcome to capitalism, Czech Style.

If you're heading to or from Kashgar from Pakistan, take a bag of coins with you, preferably a variety from different countries.

China only uses notes so the Chinese love to collect coins. The border guards at the Pakistani border will invariably ask if you have any. No bribery involved, just genuine fascination.

You don't get anything out of giving them coins except a sense of promoting world peace and understanding.
