Here for a trip
Know what to say before you land
You have a finite number of moments to get through: the Grab driver, the food stall, the market, the pharmacy. This is the short list of lines that cover them, each one practised out loud before you need it.
The situations
Each one starts from the situation, gives you the line, and lets you say it out loud before the real moment.
Calling a Grab
The ride you will take on day one
Ordering street food
Pointing works until it does not
Bargaining at the market
The price before the tourist price
Ordering and paying
Cash, card, QR — all three happen
Counting 1 to 10
Numbers are most of a transaction
Pharmacy and first aid
The one you hope to skip
The metro
New, and nobody explains it in English
Losing your passport
Worth reading once, before
