As bags are dumped in the hotel before the down route lash, ALWAYS pick up a book of hotel matches with address of said hotel printed on.
Then, when stumbling out of a random foreign club, taxi driver conversations are significantly easier.
PLUS, you'll be suprised how many Holiday Inns' some large cities have!!!
If you do ascribe to this practice, ensure your pockets are emptied of ALL other books of matches before you leave said hotel, especially those that hail from a neighbouring country. Some f**king BIG taxi fares have been run up that way.......
