I know some of these questions have been asked already but can someone please answer the following for me:

1. Do you enjoy staying in Libya?
2. If my company insist that I pay for housing allowance, how much would it be? From previous posts it looks like 3k USD minimum...is this right?
3. Will there be any problems with us not being married or will that be ok? If it's not ok to live together whilst not married do people get away with hiding it?
4. What is the cost of living for: weekly shopping, electricity, phone bill, cable tv, internet...and any others you can think of...
5. Are the housing areas in gated communities or does everyone mix together well?
6. Are the people nice?
7. What do you do at the weekend?

I'd appreciate any advice, I'm just trying to have a good view on people's experience so any info would be great.


Cheers
