There's some interesting hiking, fishing spots and a few nice museums. A few interesting restaurants and bars in the Glenwood, Fayetteville and North Hills. Live music and entertainment isn't hard to find (coming back post pandemic). People I meet here are mixed bag. You find a lot of transplants from other parts of the country. Most of the locals are nice enough. I've always felt Raleigh was a little pricey for what it was. You could do worse. |

This city is not for everyone, if you like shopping malls and big crowded cities it is for you. It may be cheap but if you want to live in a good location with swimming pool, go to nice rooftops and restaurants, use taxis then it is similar cost to western countries. In many areas there are no sidewalks, big and dangerous traffic all the time, pollution, taxis do not want to go with meter, it can get really hot. Definitely try to live by the metro.

Although I'm usually in Montego Bay, I always spend at least a week in Kingston whenever I'm in Jamaica. I've been there twice a year since 2017. Despite Montegonians warning me about how dangerous it is, using common sense, respecting the locals and their culture, and not being an asshat, unsurprisingly, goes a long way. I'm not big on tourist traps, but stopping by Devon House is a must. If it isn't for the history of its buildings or the beautiful gardens, stop and get an amazing curry goat p
