Adding my experience from 3 weeks ago.
The scene has stayed the same since pre-COVID. Biggest change: prices up 20%.

Hmm, I had a different experience. Prices were lower when I went. Maybe timing matters.

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

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