In the actual city--not too bad, you are moving at the same speed as all the other motorbikes and it's not dangerous despite how chaotic it might look. In the countryside-- I love it. Such a different experience to what I'm used to (aesthetic, culinary, culturally) and having to be mostly self-sufficient in remote places with a road bike feels nice!
