Language barrier in General Information — worth learning basics?

General Information trip report — 10 days

Arrived and got settled quickly. Had a driver arranged. Hotel was basic but good location.

Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Found the local spots quickly.

Days 3-5: Found my favorite spots. Found my rhythm. The nightlife district area was the sweet spot.

Prices: $80-120 for quality. Some room to negotiate.

Tips: Be respectful and tip well.

Return? Definitely, now in my regular rotation.

First time there was overwhelming but exciting. Second time I knew the ropes and it was like a completely different trip. Like most places, experience makes all the difference.

This matches my experience. General Information is better than its reputation.

Nice report. Heading there next month — exactly the intel I needed.
