West Coast trip report — 7 days
Arrived and got settled quickly. Had a driver arranged. Hotel was exactly what I needed.
Days 1-2: Explored, got the lay of the land. Found the local spots quickly.
Days 3-3: Had some incredible sessions. Found my rhythm. The nightlife district area was the sweet spot.
Prices: $50-80 per session. Pay asking price — it's fair.
Tips: Get a local SIM on arrival.
Return? Yes, maybe try a different area.

Also recommend downloading Google Translate before you go. Essential.

Been there 5 times now. Still one of my top destinations. The friendly atmosphere is what keeps me coming back.
