LOL

I know I probably sound schizophrenic on this forum, but every day I wake up with a new thought. I think its just excitement and my own personal fear of unknown.

All of the insight and feedback is much appreciated!! I definitely still would like to see how I like things. I think Veteran made a good point about being realistic, wherever you are. No place is perfect. You just have to weight the pros and cons vs what you personally can get out of it. I...

I totally agree. I totally agree.

lololol

Maybe I have been reading too many blogs...

I lived in the south for half my life. I lived in the mid-west for the other half. I personally never really experienced any hostile racism. I always hung around a certain crowd of people , and when I say that I don't mean a certain race, I mean people who carried themselves differently, thought...

So much great info and insight!!

Thank you for elaborating.

Yes I have noticed that, LOL. I haven't quite figured out why that is though..

Im not looking for motivational feedback on a move. I originally came here to connect with other expats and in the process of that, i have been enlightened, shall I say. That is all I am saying.

It seems as though I am getting a lot of personal messages as why not to move here, maybe I should listen...

I definitely will update, and I'll continue to search more. And yes i suppose certain things will just have to be discovered once I arrive.....

Ok, perhaps I have fallen into the dark internet spiral that comes from over researching something. I have been reading about this on and off, and tonight more more specifically. I am a black female. And I have now concerned myself all of the horror stories i have found online. It appears others...

Jeez. Thanks for all the tips.

Thanks guys.

What is the best carrier to use? Are they all pretty much pre-paid? I have an unlocked iphone and i would like to order my sim card from ebay before i leave. The last thing i need is to be disconnected from the world when i land, with no working telephone and nowhere to go to find out how to...
