Dress Code
As a foreigner, you can get in every bar easily, even with short pants and sandals. However, in clubs with face control/dress control, you should wear pants and shoes. It rather easy to do so during winter, but harder during summers as it may get annoyingly hot.
Cost of Partying
A two-course dinner in a westernized restaurant is about 10-15USD. A 10-minute taxi ride is about 4USD. A beer will usually cost between 1USD and 3USD. A cocktail between 3USD and 6USD. Overall, 60USD for a night out is more than enough.
