Everything, it is impossible to mention just 2 or 3 moments, but generalizing, it is all a theater, a farce set up for you to watch, since arriving at an airport full of people waiting for those from outside, but if no one can leave, they are waiting. waiting from whom? For example, you cannot cross the street alone, you can only take pictures of certain situations, women have the same rights as men, but when a woman lights a cigarette it is "suggested" to put it out ...

What time of year was it? Do you advise this or another time?
We went in April / May in the spring and it was quite cold and there is no heating. It must be nice to go in summer or fall as well, but the essential thing is to go when allowed.
