I mean, yeah, guns definitely exist (though I happened to never see any) but this is still not the same as > guns were everywhere ;)

  when i was there guns were everywhere. guards at fancy houses with big guns, checkpoints near my hotel, police with guns on the street, etc coming from the UK where even the police doesn't have guns, it was weird, but expected. regarding the "fenced off" hotel area, not sure what was happening, but it was known to the locals that that was the "safe tourist area". maybe it was a temporary thing? maybe some foreign/local politicians was staying/visiting? no idea. but there were checkpoints all around the hotel area.

    > maybe it was a temporary thing? Yeah, must have been. What area were you staying in?
