Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?

Yes...we extended twice: from a three year tour to a five year tour (by the time we leave). Most families have also extended their tours. - Aug 2023


1000% yes. We still have another year, but I already tear up when I think about leaving. I'd maybe wait to get a dog until after you arrive. - Oct 2019

Certainly. The country offers some unique benefits and challenges. I view it as a country feeling its way towards a modern future, trying to figure out which traditional elements it must discard, and which it wants to maintain. Although it is a middle-income country (and you can see that wealth compared to other African countries), 70% live in poverty, and HIV/AIDS is devastating the people. It is an absolute monarchy, and that fact and accompanying traditional system pervades life here. - May 2010


In a heartbeat. - Mar 2008
