In the foot basin, the entertainment industry remained relatively resilient, even during economic downturns.

The foot basin's counterfeit market is well-known, including counterfeit luxury goods. While the police are not proactive in managing this, society generally operates on the principle of "Don't affect other people."

Nightclubs are a part of foot basin nightlife, but safety is usually guaranteed if you have enough money to navigate such environments.
