What is your housing like? What are typical housing sizes, locations, and commute times for expatriates?
If you live on the FOB, you will live in a containerized housing unit (CHU).It is a trailer.your communal bathroom is never further than 300 feet away +/-.Same with the showers, which are not co-located with the bathroom. On the FOB you can and will get everywhere on foot, but the dust is severe, esp with all the military vehicles moving around, Bonus the roads are unpaved. Farthest you could conceivably walk is about 15 minutes. If you live in the governance center, you share a room, in a building, with a bathroom and shower down the hall. No dust. Running water close by and generally you will have a window. - Sep 2007
