Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?
I've made some great friends here and had some good experiences, but sadly, no, I would not. - May 2015
In a heartbeat. - Apr 2015
No. The place is circling the drain, and the local population seems to be hoping for a magical miracle to make everything better without anything on their part. - Nov 2014

This is a good post to fulfill a hardship requirement without having to leave the family in the States, but it is a hard place to like. - Aug 2012
Maybe. We have had a great time here, but who knows what the future holds after the elections. - Mar 2012

Absolutely not! - Jan 2011
Probably not. - Oct 2010

Never. - Mar 2010
Not in a million years, I can't imagine a worse Latin American post. - Mar 2010

No. - Nov 2008
