What are the particular advantages of living in this city?
The weather is beautiful, the local food is delicious, and the people, while reserved, are really kind. - Apr 2021
It's a beautiful place with good people, lovely weather, and good food. It's a pretty easy place to live, if you are ok with not having many of the amenities of the Western world. It's safe and chill. I'm really loving it here. - Dec 2019
Great weather! Light traffic. It's walkable & easy to bike here. Compact. Cool Art Deco architecture. Fascinating history, people and culture. - Feb 2019
Weather, seeing the remarkable changes that are happening with Eritra’s neighbors, and the ability to save money. - Sep 2018
It's quiet. It has pleasant weather with very pleasant people. While relations may be strained with our governments, I feel like the people I met were extremely nice, hospitable and judged you on your own merit and not "as a American" or as a "Canadian", etc. I have been to a lot of places where individual people are reduced to their country's policy, such as Pakistan where there is generally a negative opinion of Americans. I think a large part of the difference here is that almost everyone has family who live abroad, so they have a better understanding. - Dec 2016
