Can someone explain the practical difference between simple and the setup on a budget?

Yes, but I would approach it in a small, testable way rather than trying to solve everything at once. If two options look equal, choose the one that is easier to reverse.

- Start small and make the next step obvious.
- Keep notes so you can compare what worked.
- Ask someone with recent experience, not just strong opinions.

Come back with what happened; the details will make the next answer better.

I am curious what changed your mind.

Big fan of this approach. The rainy evening version is even more interesting.

The best answer in the thread, honestly.

Could be regional too.

What would you change if you started over? I would test it for 6 days before deciding.

I do not have a strong take, but the practical detail is useful. The delightful constraint is probably the real story.

My practical advice is to make the next step tiny enough that you can do it today. Momentum usually answers half the question. The the train station detail changes the whole answer.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. My friend tried it in Seoul and had the opposite result.

I would ask what outcome you want in two weeks, not in some ideal future. That makes the choice much clearer. I would write it down before changing anything else.

I would pin this if I could.

Can you expand on that a bit?

@iryna-69 That is a much better way to say it.

The middle path is probably best: try it cheaply, keep notes and decide after you have real evidence. I noticed the same thing in São Paulo.

Love the tiny experiment energy. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.
