I absolutely loved it here! The city is incredible, and you can get anywhere you want by metro. The food is more expensive than in other parts of Asia, but the politeness of the people, the cleanliness of the streets, and the amazing weather made up for it. If I were earning more right now, I would definitely stay longer!
