Returned from 12 days in General Discussion. Exceeded expectations.
Accommodation:
Budget hotel near the main area. $50/night. Quiet area but close to the action.
Scene:
Better than expected — plenty of options. Prices were in line with forum reports.
Quality:
Generally good looking with good service. Had 5 encounters total.
Logistics:
Taxis are cheap but negotiate first. Found great local restaurants.
Safety:
Felt safe throughout.
Overall: 7.5/10. Would definitely return.
Happy to answer any questions.
