I lived for 2.5 months in Kumbo, hours outside of Doula, in summer (their winter) 2009, doing feminist humanitarian aid work. If I could go back in time, I never would have gone as I developed chronic fatigue syndrome for 4.5 years starting during this trip, due to overvaccinating (several tropical diseases injected into me in a short time), the Malarone effects, poor diet, stress, etc. I stopped by Doula for a one night stay both when I arrived and when I left.

I've never had such rude, aggressive, slow, uninterested service anywhere as in Portugal. Portuguese do not understand the basic idea of a customer paying for a service and getting something in return. Many Portuguese explicitly stated to me they really just don't care about money. But at the same time they complain about not making enough money because costs are so high. That sums up the Portuguese mindset: I'm not willing to work hard at my job to deliver a good product or service, but I e

Sofia is a pretty safe city, lots of nice parks, at least in some areas of town. Pro's: Safe, relatively well connected (airport), good nightlife (if you are a student or part of the support center crowd), nice hinterland for recreational activities. Con's No longer cheap, low service quality, low quality of food (I've seen Cosmos featured here and c'mon :), the expat scene is well developed but again, more at the level of support center staff

The city is overrated. I feel like I have to be on guard most of the time. People are always trying to scam you, from taxi drivers to waitresses. It's fine for a three-day vacation which is more than enough but staying long-term is very subjective... Airbnbs are overpriced for what you get. Turkish hospitality is a joke. They’re really good at conning tourists here. I stayed for a month, but I should've just passed through. A layover at the airport would've been plenty.

Romanians are friendly and welcoming people. The young generation speaks perfect English. The city itself is rather disappointing. Dirty, rundown, many empty buildings.... plenty of traffic and not much to do.

Guys, the internet is actually very fast because it's taken from Romania. Pretty much any apartment has at least a 100 Mbps connection and a big portion already have upwards of 300 Mbps both download and upload. Some even have a 1 Gbps connection. If you only judge by the speed you get at cafes, then obviously you won't get a fast internet since the available bandwidth is split between everyone who's connected at that time, but that's a very poor way of judging it. My 4G connection itself gets

A great place if you speak Russian or Armenian, somewhat less so English. Good food, friendly people, nature around (eg in Lori) is just insane.

Great city for living. Yes, the prices now are higher and there is a lot of Russian, but city is peacfull and general safe. A lot of restaurants and bars. It is not like Europe, but has it own charm. For me a lot better place then their Yerevan or Baku. The nature is also great.

Driving looks and feels dangerous. It isn't. It's just scary to start (and I've got over a million miles in a truck across North America). That's probably why the 'dangerous' reviews. Was surprised to find EVERY time something happened, like a car door randomly opening in front of you or sudden lane disappearance, the drivers in the lane you needed made space. Drivers have exceptional road awareness. It's just that it's scary doing 75 km/h in a bumper to bumper traffic jam. Being a pedestrian is

Buenos Aires has Ben one of my favourite cities so far. I love the old stone streets and cafe culture is unreal. While there, I did feel a a bit depressed by the economic situation and generally sensed many locals stressed out. I now understand the inflation in a personal and new perspective way. Too much smoking as usual. I thinks it’s a good city but hard to say if it could be long term. I met people from all over the globe there.

The people are open, warm and enthusiastic with travelers. 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.

I really don't know how to review Bali in general, as I traveled everywhere. This is my first time going there and I stayed for 1 month. Cons: - NOT WALKABLE AT ALL. The scooters drive on the few sidewalks that exists as there is too much traffic on the road. - You need scooter, sure you can use Grab or Gojek, but for me you don't feel "free" it feels like you're living in a tunnel life sitting on the back of a scooter all the time. - Avg amount of steps is like 2-4k (In BKK I always ended a

Love Mexico City but as many have pointed out, yes it’s gotten very expensive for rent. for a city that has earthquakes, no drinkable running water, poor infrastructure and safety concerns, I cannot understand the prices. However, there is SO much fun to be had here. It was hard to focus on work because I would be going out so much. Love the food. Definitely can’t wait to go back. Looking for places outside the Condesa bubble though as prices have sky rocketed.
