Hello Everyone, I will most probably move from Europe to Dar es Salaam. Never have lived in Africa before, do not have a clue what to expect. I have searched for Dar es Salaam news, what kind of city is it? Is security such a big deal as mentioned in internet? Since it is a center of commerce can the city be perceived as rather modern and foreigner friendly? In European cities one can move around freely, take advantage of cinemas, theatre, night life, shopping, cafes etc. How is life in Dar? Can anyone let me know what I should prepare myself for? What is the reliable company for apartment search? Changes are stressfull but do you think this change will be a real shock? I have been living abroad in Stockholm and Budapest so far, the offer to Dar has come unexpectedly. Seems interesting, but what occupies my mind is the question what kind of Africa is it? South Africa kind or not yet. And one more question: does international school of tanganyika offer a good standard education? I will be coming with a family and a daughter attending IB class in heigh school.
Thank you in advance for any advice and comment you send.
Greetings, Beata
