10일 전Wow, this is incredibly helpful—thank you so much for sharing this! 🙌 Having all these essential numbers in one place really brings a sense of relief. It’s the kind of info you don’t think about until you really need it, so having it saved ahead of time is just smart. I had no idea there was a hotline for tourist help and even one specifically for reporting taxi issues—that’s amazing. I’m definitely bookmarking this and saving all these contacts in my phone right now.😊
