Hey guys,
I've lived here for a while, and with regards to the dress code, as Lisa said, u can whatever u want: sleeveless, short skirts, shorts, etc. noone is going to tell u anything. Most compounds do have a recreational center with a gym, pool, etc, and with the housing budget ur bf is given, I think ur able to live in a pretty good place.

It's true the culture is different, but don't get too freaked out about it cause it's not that bad, just a little more conserved i guess.

As for the language, everyone over here speaks english so it will not effect ur job opportunities whatsoever, so don't worry about that.

Hope that helped, if ur hesistant about anything else, feel free to ask...cheers xxx
