It smells.

It’s crowded.

It’s expensive.

It’s cramped.

The best part about it is that I get to leave in three days.

My hotel room is barely big enough for the bed. And still $300 a night with a group rate.

    Years ago I was dragged there by a girlfriend. I was not impressed and cut the 5 day trip short on day 3.

    I did find aspects of the city very interesting, but I cannot say that I would like to live there or visit again.

      It’s my first night here and I already miss seeing what few stars I could see from home.

      I can’t wait till I can properly fuck off to the middle of nowhere and see a real sky.

        I was completely turned off by the stench of human waste. Hustlers, vagrants, pickpockets every 10 meters.

        Then we checked into our 375 a night “boutique hotel” and when we got in, there was a 14 inch pool of blood on the carpet and blood splatters / bloody-fingerprints all over the walls. Like somebody was murdered with a bowling trophy a couple hours prior.

        The trip did not get better from there.
