Hi guys I am new to the board and would like to request any insight which would help me plan my daily activities. I will be arriving Jun 17 and will stay for 20 days. I need a recomendation for accommodation close to a gym and supermarket. I see lots of options on line but would appreciate any suggestions to narrow down the choices.
Also, Is immigration / visa given at the airport or must I get it before?
Anyone know of a local guide for the first few days?
I have lots of other questions but they can wait for now.
