Hi Every one,

My name is Chineye Uwakwe , fondly called Neye by friends.I am a single woman of 32 from the eastern part of nigeria. I have just been offered a job in Libya and might be relocating first week in January. Being a muslim country i understand i will be faced with restrictions. But being single and Female.How will that affect me?

What is life like in Libya? I am looking forward to doing a masters degree , any hope of getting that done while in Libya?

I would apreciate an update from any one.

Life, in general, is slow and boring. Nothing much to do. Perfect place for self development :D About masters, I have no clue. May be when you come down, you can check it out for yourself. Also, there is a Tripoli expat women's group. You can join and meet all the ladies. This group meets once in every month :)

what do i do for clothes , etc and what do i bring while coming.

Its getting cold here. So get winter clothing. You can get jeans, T shirts[ full arm or half sleeve], full length/mid length skirts, jackets. Mostly women wear full coverage clothings. So get creative :D Burqa is not compulsory

I would apreciate an update from any one.

Hi Neye, welcome to Libya
Libya is a Muslim, Arab, African and Mediterranean country.  There is a lot to see, learn and do.  Regarding your MS degree, you didn't mention your field of study. 

Good luck

Neye
