Morale among expats:
Mixed. - Mar 2013
Fair. No sense of community, but what an amazing place! You just have to be self-sufficient. And if you don't have kids in school, I imagine your morale would be very, very high. That's our only stressor. - Feb 2012
For the English-speaking expats who are not coming to a job, there is a level of frustration in lack of things to do. Finding a job in the local economy is extremely competitive, and most activities seem to take place in the evening hours, not during the afternoons. Also, I have heard from many that the turn-around time for people coming and going seems very short here, perhaps due to UN TDYs. At the Mission, the morale needs a bit of a boost. - Jul 2009
