What happened after the first week? I am curious whether long stayed easy. My friend tried it in Berlin and had the opposite result

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. My friend tried it in Mexico City and had the opposite result

I would push back gently on the long part. The first week version is even more interesting
