Anyone moving to my city has to know its combination of both rural and urban areas. You will have access to all comforts but traffic can be hard and in peak hours it will be difficult to move within the city. There isn’t plenty of career options for professionals. However, it would be a great place if you are looking for cultural exposure.

Know about all the knock-off products of famous brands. My hometown is quite famous (or should I say notorious?) for producing large amounts of fake products based on famous brands like Nike, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger etc. that look almost identical to the actual products. While most shopkeepers don’t try to hide that their products are dupes, some nefarious people might try and scam you, claiming that they are in fact the real deal (especially if they realize that you’re a foreigner).
