There are also no convenience stores here, it's running about 100 degrees right now and will get much hotter. Being from America you will get a Fed Compensation package probably about 35% over your base pay. The driving/traffic is atrocious. You will have to pay taxes if you go over 86k or somewhere close to that. Women do not have to wear Burkas. You have to pay up front for medical expenses and then deal with your insurance company to reimburse you in the end. Doctor's visits run about the same amount here as in US and medications seem to be cheaper. Food prices are through the roof, we are paying $1000 a month for a family of three. In a nutshell, my husband makes over 90k and we have been here 10months and have not saved anything yet. But then, that's just us. When you make more money, you spend more money.
