Harare is the largest metropolitan city in Zimbabwe. It is the hub to most commercial activities that go on in Zimbabwe. Harare is endowed with friendly people who are very welcoming to any foreigners. The city of Harare is where the parliament of the country is located since it is the capital of Zimbabwe.

My city is not particularly large. Only 1.5 million people reside therein, however the people are very friendly and welcoming. The buildings are quite old and the roads sometimes are unswept and full of potholes, especially in the high-density suburbs. The current socio-political climate in the country has not left Harare unscathed.

Be aware of the daily interbank and parallel market rates of the local currency. The ability to hold a conversation with a random stranger is something to be anticipated and even enjoyed by anyone seriously moving to Harare. always be ready to become a politics major, unofficially of course.

Living in Harare is a struggle for many. The cost of living is very high, there are always power shortages, a lot of political unrest and there is always a lot of crime being committed. However, the majority of people are friendly and try to help wherever they can. They are also very educated and welcome strangers into our community.

When moving to Harare, it is important to check for any security alerts issued, especially from the American embassy website. Harare is the major spot for Zimbabwean politics. Demonstrations and political violence can ensue anytime. However, most of the days it is very welcoming and safe. Harare has a vibrant night-life, its name translate to the city that never sleeps.

The names of the streets in the city are named after African Presidents. For example, Nelson Mandela and Kwame Nkrumah. The longest street in the city is Samora Machel Avenue. That is where the Central Business District is located. A variety of Banks are mainly on this street. You can also find a Food Court on every corner of the city.

Life in Harare is difficult, as we have many economic and political issues to deal with. However, it is worth the trouble, as Harare is a beautiful, peaceful country, filled with some of the most friendly people you could ever hope to meet. I would highly recommend that one visit Harare themselves, to come to an unbiased opinion.
