Nukuʻalofa×Tashkent
Three numbers. The ones that decide the meeting.
When the world meets at work.
Read the day in both zones.
Crossing the border. Money, language, plugs.
Money changes hands at the border: Nukuʻalofa uses the TOP (T$) and Tashkent uses the UZS (so'm). Language shifts too — English in Nukuʻalofa, Russian in Tashkent. Be careful behind the wheel: Nukuʻalofa drives on the left, Tashkent on the right.
