My version of this was messier, but the conclusion was similar. My only addition is to make the first step visible.

This feels a little overrated to me, even if the intention is good. I would write it down before changing anything else.

Maybe, but the tradeoff seems bigger than the post suggests. My friend tried it in Istanbul and had the opposite result. The everyday customs are often the best part of travel.

Great point, especially the part about found. The 9-minute rule is underrated.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. I keep a note about cities for exactly this reason. History gets easier to understand when you can place it on a street.
