I assume that left side means the AB side. We were on the right side (JK side). I didn't hear the obnoxiously loud snorer, probably because I was on the other side of the plane, with galley and curtains between us.
The bodybuilders were in row 8 on the JK side I believe. Perhaps you noticed them at some point, as they were both quite large and wearing shirts that were quite small.

We saw the little room but didn't go in because it was also quite crowded relative to the total number of seats in there. We sat right outside the room (between the shopping bag lady and the bodybuilders).
So was that dinner "salad" gross, or what?

We had been out, were a bit tipsy, and easy to take advantage of.
Not 100% sure if this makes the post on point...but my +1 was scammed out of
500 pesos on one of his few cab rides that I was not present for.
The driver alleged that the bill that +1 offered in payment was fake, and that the next bill offered was also fake. The driver then asked for +1's entire wallet, claimed that the bills were all fake,
and in the process of "inspecting" the bills pocketed about five 100-peso bills. The driver suggested that +1 go to an ATM to get "real" money to pay for the ride, and drove to an ATM and pretended to wait while +1 took out money. But then the cab drove off for no apparent reason, and only later in the day did +1 discover that his wallet was missing 500 pesos, and realize that the cab driver had pocketed them during the wallet "inspection," before dumping +1 at the ATM and driving off.
