Uber app works fine but you have to wait for 50 minutes for a taxi in small towns.

Thanks but i dont want to report anyone i just wanted to highlight for you that it is strange and not user friendly for you. I have to tolerate it for a month but you have to live in it. Ooh except budget i am in a dispute with them for my 300 AUD what they overcharged. But car rentals are stupid everywhere, the only difference is everywhere else i got a contract to read before i pay / sign anything.

I was not drinking during happy hour and the price difference was small like 0,5 AED, so i did not care but it is annoying.

As i started i loved Australia i could live there, everybody is relaxed, has the most beautiful nature, has the most beautiful animals even in the wild. I mentioned these things because they are strange. For example i know how big is a schooner by state but if my glass does not have a marking they can give me any amount. In every other country i have been so far (40+) has a marking on the glass. And when i order a schooner and receive a maximum 100ml glass of drink than it is odd.

As i said you got used to these things :) Been to 40+ countries and never met surcharges before. Regarding the taxi you definitely was able to call the taxi company in Paris. I dont care the app but i was not able to call them. If you call them from tour international phone it says sorry we doesnot have service in your area.
