After being only for a week in this city, the truth is that, once I've come back home, I'm already missing it. It's just incredible. In every corner, at every step, there is always something new to see. Since the first moment, you are amazed by this city, because everything is unique here. I've been in Manhattan, and well, you never have the sensation of being unprotected.
Security is really good in the area, and the people are kind and open. Remember to take some money with you, but take care because it blows! The notes are similars to those that we use in the “Monopoly”, and there are huge shops even under the sewers, so it's difficult not to spend everything. Futhermore, there was something that made me feel surprised, the taxes are not included in the prices, so I was always surprised when paying :) And then you have to add the tipps, of course.
In relation to the food, I could say that that was the worst part. In general, it was really expensive (mineral water is valued like gold) and nothing outstanding. Nonetheless, there are some alternatives in order not to spend a lot. I used to have dinner in a chain of food called “Subway”. It was fairly good and it was considerably cheap. Generally, you spend a lot of money in food, though. Definitely, this is a city that everybody should visit, at least once in live.
As I've said, I'd go back without any doubt. In fact, I hope I'd do it. I'd never thought that I could fall in love with a city, but this one worths it!
