Did you feel safe walking around at night?

Any restaurants or bars you'd recommend for hanging out during the day?

With respect, I think this is a bit optimistic. My experience was more mixed.

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

Thanks for sharing. Did you use a dating app or find girls at bars?

Not sure I agree about the area recommendation. I found the outskirts to be better.

I was there in early March and can add some detail:
Prices: Good value overall. I spent about $150/day on the hobby side.
Girls: Mix of local and working girls from other regions. Quality was excellent.
My favorite spot was the freelancer area near the hotels.
One tip: Late night you get the best deals.

I had a bad experience there last year. Maybe I went at the wrong time?
