* Each country would have its own uber. It's yandex for Russia. Bolt for Europe. Something else for South America and the Caribbean. Find out what it is and install and register before hand.
* In each country get a proper eSIM and store it on your phone long term. So that you can receive SMS in the future. This is highly useful for registering online accounts, for example additional telegram or google or facebook or whatsapp. Go with eSIM's which won't expire if you don't pay, so long as you turn them on once couple of months.
* Get a proper world wide cell phone plan with internet and stuff.
* Find out how people dress in your target country and dress accordingly. Don't look like a tourist.

Take a picture of where you park you car. Snap a photo of the nearest parking section sign.

You’ll appreciate this when your trip or event is over.

Nothing worse than returning to a large parking lot or parking garage and not remembering where you parked.

So do they email the taxi to you in Russia? Do you search where you want to go and you're magically there?

Wtf man, there's no reason a tech company (Yandex) should be allowed to be that large.

Sh1t, might as well let them control the food supply too while you're at it...

I mean, you guys have a recent history of allowing an organization excessive control.

Might as well learn from it, no? Or will it take another 60 million deaths?

Oh wait, they do have their fingers in the food business. Nevermind....

Don't know why you had to make this threat political, Jashua or Nicolas or Roger, or whatever your name is, but okey, I guess up there in Dallas area you experienced some sort of debility and had an immidiate urge to vent, but I'll reply to you. Trying to take this into useful tracks, away from your political hate speech.

There is yandex and vezet, taxi maxim and taxovichkoff.

No.

Specific of taxi is different. You can go from anywhere to anywhere anytime. Taxi arrives really quick, under 5 minutes. With Uber I've tried once going to a DMV 4 am at night. Nobody would take my order, cancelled every time. Tried during the day, wait time is 10+ minutes. Drivers are spanish speaking with questionable navigation skills even though google maps was there on screen, I had to point where to go.

Yandex and vezet would be what Uber is here, only better version, IMO.

In Europe, there is Bolt. Bolt is the king. You can take a regular yellow cab taxi. From airport to hotel it will run you around $90. Bolt will get you there for $10 - $15. Uber is also available, however, it's more expensive than bolt and wait times are longer. Also, they have their own Uber app, your U.S. Uber app won't work.

Bolt is similar to Yandex and vezet, IMO.

In the Caribbean and South America it could be the same. There still could be Uber, but most likely it's a more expensive, ****tier option for new folks in town who don't know better. So you gotta find what they using. Maybe they just have a number on speed dial. That's also an option and a good one. You call them up, and tell them where you at, they tell you car color and license plate and time it arrives at. It's pre-Uber, back in the day some 10 years ago taxi companies used two way radios to get orders.
