| When using an ATM to withdraw money try to use one outside an open bank. If the ATM eats your card you can then go inside the bank and recover it. |

KAYAK. Light boat powered by paddles. Originally used by native Ainu, Aleut and Eskimo hunters in sub-Arctic regions including Greenland, Asia and North America.
A kayak is a small human-powered boat. It typically has a covered deck, and a cockpit covered by a spraydeck. It is propelled by a double-bladed paddle by a sitting paddler. The kayak was used by the native Ainu, Aleut and Eskimo hunters in sub-Arctic regions of northeastern Asia, North America and Greenland. Modern kayaks come in a wide variety of designs and materials for specialized purposes.
