Expand/ContractCity Description

Coastal City. Mediterranean weather. Food is Italian influenced.

Expand/ContractPros and Cons
Locals are becoming more accepting to foreigners especially of other races. Traffic in town centar can get really packed after working hours. Some of the products that I'm used to have in Singapore are not available. Most locals do not speak English well enough to converse with me. Gays are heavily criticised in this city. There is no gender bias at workplace. Cars can get stolen if packed at unlit locations.
