An auto rickshaw or three-wheelers (tuk-tuk, auto, rick, autorick or rickshaw in popular parlance) is a motor vehicle and one of the chief modes of transport in many parts of South and East Asia, especially as a vehicle for hire. It is a motorized version of the traditional rickshaw or velotaxi, a small three-wheeled cart operated by a single individual, and is related to the cabin cycle.

Rhine Falls

Rhine Falls

The Rhine Falls in Switzerland are a series of three falls, the Zürcher, Schaffhauser, and Mühle falls. It is the largest waterfall in western Europe coming in at 25 meters tall and 150 meters wide. The falls are in the relatively urban area of Schaffhausen and have been well known in Europe for many years.

They are fairly low in height compared to other waterfalls. Its three sections are divided by islets of sharp, jagged limestone rock that is piled up against the waterfall, old remnants of the waterfall cliff that eroded and collapsed, and somehow has defied the powers of the rushing water to tumble them downstream. On either side of the River Rhine is a thick forested area of local trees and shrubs and beyond that the city.

One might think the Rhine Falls is measly in comparison to the other waterfalls that are famous throughout the world, but seen in person they inspire a healthy respect. The water spills over the edge of the cliff at a rate of 750,000 liters per second. This is about a fifth of the volume of water that flows over the Niagara Falls, yet is still more than enough to discourage visitors from leaning to far over the railing to get their photographs of the Rhine.

say mashallah please =)

Mā šāʾ Allāh is an Arabic phrase evoked by Muslims to indicate appreciation for an aforementioned individual or event. Towards this, it is used as an expression of respect, while at the same time serving as a reminder that all accomplishments are so achieved by the will of God. The closest English translation is "God has willed it", the present perfect tense of God's will accentuating the essential Islamic doctrine of belief in fate. It is used to show joy and praise. It is said upon hearing good news. Another reason people use this phrase is to prevent the evil eye or jinxing.
