That's interesting coming from someone who is old enough to remember how things used to be before everybody had even (dumb) mobile phones.
Unfortunately, the world has changed and it now assumes everybody has a smartphone: no phone booths, phone books, paper maps available in many places, you are often pointed to URLs for further information on anything...
- coldtea 7y agoYou can find paper maps almost everywhere for free - in most hotels, tourist places, airports on arrival, etc (not to mention, buy one in advance). Phone booths, there are not, true. Not sure why you'd need phone books, on the other hand. I've never consulted one in my decades of trips, whether with a mobile or not. To call your hotel or something similar without a mobile phone (and without having jotted down the number back at home), you can always use a directory service. Also any airport has an information booth where they'll tell you.
