My first city in Saudi Arabia! Spent a week there and actually had quite an interesting time. Old Jeddah in the center is extremely cool neighbourhood to walk around during evening, a lot of people around, sounds, lights all around, really liked the vibe. People are really friendly in my opinion, was given some food treats by random Saudi family nearby in some cafe in the center, have never had an experience like that in many countries I've been to.

Great kitespot and good weather but there are a few things that I disliked: - The food isn't great and it is very expensive. Be ready to spend more than 30 euros per person per meal to eat anything remotely decent - The locals will try to scam you any time they can - The night life is very poor, I am not sure why the score is so high - Traveling here with gf/spouse: Egypt is not the most welcoming place for western women I would say it is good for stays of less than 1 month, but after 1 month y

Budapest was on my list about cities for living. I stayed for 7 days and was a little disappointed People are not very friendly, lots os places very dirty, people smoke a lot and the costs isn't affordable as people indicated here. Its a beautiful place, walkable, people have a good level of education, lots of things to do, but not as i imagined. Even so its a nice place.

And after a while navigating the city which is literally a maze becomes quite old. Recommend to visit Murano by the way.

The 'pandemic' changed many things -- the cost of course, but also the culture -- the freedom and liberty have been contained. The police presence and size of the state have grown -- definitely doesn't feel so relaxed anymore. It's also important to note here -- there is limited ambition. Most are looking for an easy, fun and peaceful life -- which is great, but if you are building something or running a business it can fee

I personally think it's a little overrated, but a cool place to visit nonetheless. The architecture is beautiful, and there are lots of good places to eat. I don't like the main area of the canals in the city centre; it smells of weed and is often packed. However, the outer edges - such as the Jordaan district - are less busy and more interesting in my opinion. One thing that surprised me is how much trash was o

Seattle is a great city, especially if you like nature, there are plenty of outdoor activities to do all year round. People are generally open-minded and friendly. The cost of living is high but it allows you to be able to afford other places on earth easily if you can find a job here. You can also find plenty of good restaurants and arts around in the city. I recommend to stay at least 3-6 months to get the feel of living a PNW life.
