Then tge question still remains - how do you catch an Uber or communicate with people when you don’t speak their language?

Smiles, hand signals, learn basic words.

Exactly the same way I did when I drove across dozens of countries before the iPhone was invented.

I assure you your experience was a lot less deep than mine now that I’m in a country where I don’t speak the language well for six weeks.

And how are you getting around without Uber now that taxis are basically dead.

And why be a Luddite when it comes to phones and not computers? Cars?
