No South American entries yet so I'll throw in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil

Damn, that metro sticks in my mind. Mostly for one reason.

You know that "protocol" where people boarding should let people off first?

Well, on a scale of 1 (impatient ) to 10 (Japan level politeness) NYC scores about 6 and Delhi scores -100 (minus 100).

To exit at a busy station, I had to really put my shoulder into it and channel "the refrigerator" William Perry.

30 days by 30 days?

Like.... 900 cells???

Are you sure you understood what I meant?

I've just stuck with Kayak for over a decade, love the -/+3-day price grid.

Sometimes they send you to cheap-o bargain agencies/re-sellers you've never heard of... but I haven't had a bad result yet.

Cool article, keep 'em coming.

Tello sounds almost too good to be true (and it might be for me, due to having a 5-year-old android phone and this note: "For iPhone users there is a cherry on the cake: if you are abroad and you have another local sim or esim on your phone, Tello’s Wi-Fi Calling will work on the data connection of the other sim.")

Also... I've never heard of an E911 address. I presume that 1) it's expecting a US address but that 2) it's not going to be verified in any way, just needs data stuffed in there?
