Life in Djibouti?
Anyone anglophones out there please help! We are currently in "l'ile de la Reunion" and my french husband is considering a 2 year posting to Djibouti with a multinational company, and I was wondering what its like to live out there? I have spoken to a couple of french people who have given me mixed reviews about what its like with a small child (we have a one year old baby boy) but they have all told me that they have never met any anglophones! Are any of you out there? Could you please give me some advice as to whether its possible to meet people with young children? Healthwise is Malaria a big risk? Is the climate far too harsh? Please, please give me some advice! My husband and I have already lived and worked in the Ivory Coast and speak both french and english but have never ever visited East Africa. Please help!!!!
