Weather is nice at winter time is around 15C, no heating in the flats so it's a bit no comfortable inside the house. Locals are nice but in general doesn't like foreigner's if you are from eastern countries especially from Eastern Europe county. If you want to work for local company it will probably be hard to settle it with income. Td Lr: not bad for few months to stay but not more than t

I accidentally discovered this page and noticed the comments below. What I can recommend to people considering living in Athens is to explore places a bit outside of the city center. I agree with people that there are many areas very close to the city center that are dirty and perhaps not very safe to walk around at night. Explore areas like Glyfada, Voula, Kifisia, Marousi, Psychiko, Marousi and you will be amazed with how different it i

Lachania, Vati, Mesanagros and Arnitha all have beautiful squares with wifi where you can telework sitting in a kafeneio under the shade of a tree. In Vati there is free 5G in the square and no car in sight. You might see fallow deers grazing around. Perfect place to concentrate. Platanos taverna offers great home made food from April to November. It can get cold in winter and insulation and heating are hard to f

There are amazing quays in driving distance that wouldn't be any different than beautiful coasts of Bali or Thailand.

Spent nearly 2 months in Palermo and the area (Nov-Dev). Weather was perfect (especially when comparing to Europe) Good 1BR apartments can be found at at < $1,000/mo ( in the central area ). Internet can be a hit or miss, I lucked a 80/80 Mpbs. There's a cool (and free) coworking space (Magneti Cowork). Great city to just roam around walking, there are nice areas along with multiple old markets and many places to get a good bite/drink. Had a chance to hang with a bunch of local peo

The air pollution doesn't stagnate because it's blown inland, unlike Cairo, and the quality of life is better. I have happy memories. I went back for a visit in 2008 and it hadn't really changed, but since then Egypt has endured tumultuous times.

However, I do not agree with several points mentioned in scoring: 1. Bishkek certainly has more English speakers than, for example, in Budapest 2. The air quality is not great - Bishkek is one of the most polluted cities in the world 3. Internet - depends, you can find internet faster than in the UK Other points - it is difficult finding a job here, I am glad I am working on a project in the UK. The costs of living are very low, average person will earn about $100-200 in t

Service is brilliant (generally) - much better then Europe. WIFI is poor, drivers have one hand holding their mobile and the other on the horn. Really nice "pace" and the diverse ethnicity get along beautifully. This is NOT BORAT land - Almaty is 2.7 million people.
