Go karting http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10669 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10669 Queen House Villa http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10668 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10668 Trains: not necessarily fully booked http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10336
So, if the tour/ticket desk where you're staying can't book you a ticket for the day or time you want to travel it's definitely worth asking at another hotel - they may find you the ticket you want from someone else.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10336 Regular moto driver http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10220
Saves hassle, and can be great if you strike up a rapport, even better if they speak a bit of English.

Pay 2000 riel per journey (maybe 3000 at 3am), or negotiate a day rate.

Plus if you're planning on being out late, having a moto driver you trust who you can ring up on a mobile is worth the extra peace of mind.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10220 Angkor Wat pass http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5045 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5045 L'Etranger http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5028 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5028 'Secret' Great Wall http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4334
It should be noted that you're not always following the path of the wall itself, and if you want to get the 'classic' wall experience (and photos) take another tour instead of, or as well as, this one. On the other hand, you will definitely avoid crowds and hawkers.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4334 Columbia Road flower market http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4063 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/4063 Meter taxis http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3755
Incidentally, the taxi drivers with Buddhist texts written on their cabs’ ceilings, seem to be more amiable - just an observation.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3755 Russian market http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3742 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3742 Wuhou Temple http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3752
All vegetarian, but incredibly skilful tofu imitations of traditional sichuan dishes - ever seen a whole 'fish' made of tofu? Go with a couple of other people and order a range of pot luck dishes. It's cheap too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3752
