As for everyone saying that you should get the job here first and then ask questions, if I had found this website before we came over here, and I got to ask the questions you are, we would have made the decision not to come. There is not a lot of crime and when there is, it is not really reported about because of the media censorship. There are many historical places to visit, about half of the people we have met have been really nice, and being in the desert has it's own beauty. I guess it just depends on what is important to you as to if you make the choice to come here or not. All I am saying is as for us, this was the wrong decision for us to make, but we have to make the best of it because we are committed here for the next 2 to 3 years. I hope this has helped you a little bit.
