It's certainly ... different here! But it's about who you know, and it is a social place, with people from many countries, cultures, very interesting, and always going to meet new interesting people. As for things to do ... really depends on your interests.. there are a number of things to do, but at same time it can get tiring going to same places.. It really depends upon yourself, and what u and your social group enjoy... it's easy to meet people. Weather - hot hot hot from now for next few months..
