Adding my experience from last month.
The scene has improved since pre-COVID. Biggest change: more online activity.

I'd also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

This is outdated info IMO. Things have changed since the new laws came in. Current prices are higher than what's described here.

Good info. I'd add that going during the week is much better — less crowded, better prices.

With respect, my experience was more mixed. But maybe I went at the wrong time.
