        I am pretty sure that "taksi" is neutrum, at least it is so in
colloquial speech. As for "Euro", it is fairly reasonable that it would be
masculine, because if I am not mistaken, such currency as "ECU", "Su" or
"peso" was treated in literature as masculine. [See, for instance,
"Buratino", there was "sol'do", and tell me if I am wrong... ]
