You could live with your boyfriend. I had all these kind of fears (not about - not being able to live with a guy!!!), but the country is really relax, overly relaxed, in fact you'll see that all construction work in this country never gets passed 95% complete! That is what they aim for, that is what they achieve!

I've been working here just over 4 weeks and I feel totally settled, its very easy to get along over here and you never feel out of place.

There are over twice as many men to women so possibly that creates a few more problems for women, but I wouldn't say anything to serious, you'd probably want a female to give her opinion on that. Other than that crime is extremly low, well I reckon.

Roads are a bit crazy, but you get used to them. Most small roads don't have names and so you navigate by landmarks!

Taxi's are cheap, food is reaonable, petrol super cheap, erm you can only drink generally in hotels and private member clubs.

Don't know really what else I have to offer.
