Despite all these gripes...yes. It was a great experience and I've had a lot of fun, but I am ready to go. The city is loud, filthy, dangerous and corrupt beyond imagining but the countryside outside of town and the sleepy villages a few hours away are heavenly. Amazing beaches obviously. Plus, there is truly something to be said for being able to walk across the street in your bare feet and underwear and start drinking beer at 9am. Plus, everyone pisses right in the street here, which is rather liberating. - Aug 2013
