Post allows adult EFMs only, and even then there aren't many. Probably best for singles. - May 2026
If you are comfortable with reading, watching videos that you bring, working in your yard, or other stay-at-home activities, you can have an enjoyable tour. If you want the social activities and night-life that you would associate with a major U.S. city - you'll be miserable here. - Apr 2014
This is a hardship post. Singles have a hard time as the expat community is small. Right now most NGO's, International Organizations, and businesses have removed their non-essential staff. A lot of embassy employees choose to go on SMA for their spouses. There are only a limited number of things to do for all groups. You can do them all in about a month and then you're done. Most activities are not worth doing twice. - Nov 2006
