I don't live there but have visited many times starting with my first trip in 1991 up to my last trip in March and I too am somewhat amazed. Some people expect it to be the way it was in 1991 (not even close) and others think it is too primitive now. (What, no Wal-Mart, McDonalds or NFL franchise!)
I would say live and learn but unprepared people can sometimes burden others.
