Thanks for sharing. Did you use freelancers or find girls at bars?

Good info. I'd add that the morning is the best time to go.

Spot on with the prices. That's exactly what I paid when I visited in February.

Great report, thanks for sharing. I had a similar experience when I was there last month.

Great report! Quick question — how was the Uber availability?

Adding to this thread with my own experience from last month:

Things are much the same as always since my last visit in 2024.

Biggest change: More competition means better service.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

The scene has definitely improved since my last visit in 2023.

Biggest change: Prices have gone up about 20%.

Still a great destination. 8/10 from me.

What was your total spend for the trip, roughly? Trying to budget for mine.

Great report! Quick question — how was the ATM situation?
