I like the idea, but the setup probably matters a lot. This would have saved me a lot of trial and error.

This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. My friend tried it in Mexico City and had the opposite result.

This reminds me of something a friend in Warsaw mentioned. I would love to see a follow-up after 9 weeks.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. My friend tried it in Manila and had the opposite result.
