You were looking for shock value with the photo. I’m not shocked. The location is relevant. WRT prevalence of the conditions in the photo, you’d know more than me.
Tell us about the expat lifestyle in the DF.
-Enjoy a cafecito con canela at the local cafe while drumming away at my laptop doing “work” while surrounded by likeminded digital nomads
-Hot Yoga with Snack Daddy in the afternoon
-Beef Stroganoff with a bit of mexican Dyson flare for dinner (but not too Spicy)
-Retire to my AirBnb in the evening that costs the same as an upscale downtown loft in St Louis without speaking a lick of Spanish all day
IOW, Assimilate or GTFO

Somalia?Was checking out Somalia - apparently Mogadishu is experiencing a real estate boom, with locals being priced out of the market.
Somali real estate boom gives Mogadishu residents money headaches
The Somali capital is enjoying relative calm, and residents say new sky-high apartments also come with sky-high prices.www.aljazeera.com

But, yes, I'm pretty sure you can get some cheap real estate there; not by Somali standards, of course.
Go for it. But get your estate plan in order first.
Life a bit boring over on Nias? I bet surfing the same short right tube repeatedly get tiresome. Add in the 4 hour trip to the nearest major airport and the island fever must set in quickly
lsurfed all day maybe 20 real tubes
bintangs now bcue fish
sure your day was similar lifeonfalsereality
surfing the same wave repeatedly in a shitty location gets boring, been to your new home base once and would never go back
Spent months at a time in Jbay, a much better and longer wave. After a year in totality both in Indo and ZA, I'd only go back for Supers and the Ments.
I don't drink beer or any alcohol regularly, there's no need to escape the boredom of sitting around trying to pass the time waiting for waves. Luckily I have other interests to keep my mind and body active.
Life is much better here in Oz, it's an undeniable fact. Just remember every day is one closer to the end, make the best of what you have left.
Sounds like a great place to be an ex-pat, cheap land and all that

Mogadishu, Somalia (CNN)At least 15 people have been killed after unidentified gunmen stormed an upscale hotel in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, on Friday evening, officials said, following gunfire and large explosions in the area.
Ahmed Abdi, a doctor at Madina Hospital, said that the death toll was likely to rise and many victims were in critical condition. Madina is one of the two major hospitals in Mogadishu where most of the victims from Hayat Hotel attack were admitted to.
The hospital is still receiving bodies and more wounded people, Abdi said.
Police Major Farah Hussein confirmed to CNN that Somali security forces had enter the Hayat Hotel building and regained most of the control from gunmen. The area is frequented by lawmakers and government officials.
You’re arguing with a guy that thinks not following through with a promised donation for kids is some kind of win for him in a silly internet debate.
look idiot, boxed the leashes up with your name and address on them. Was packing for Portugal and forgot to mail them out before leaving for a month. We know you don't surf much in NY, there's hardly any waves and you live on the Long Island Sound.
Had more good waves this lifetime than many ever will, when you develop other interests besides surfing the same ol right handed tube repeatedly life becomes much more enjoyable. To me QOL is much more important than quality and consistency of surf, would have stayed in HI if all I wanted to do was surf everyday. Nias will never be a good place to spend a life, it's quite simple really. Good run of swell coming this week to the local region, I get it when the getting is good. Hope you enjoy what's left of your existence in this earth
and when I hurt your feelings over a silly little internet debate you thought it was an insult to me that you didn’t keep your word with a donation.
you’re just a miserable dirtbag.

I like this thread. A lot of real animosity, just like the erbb of yore...
even if I had "feelings" you would't be able to hurt them. insult to you? like I need a forgotten donation to do that
maybe you wouldn't be so sensitive if you got in or on the water more often, maybe try an SUP for the lake that is your backyard?
I surf plenty and spend most of the year in highly developed world surroundings, it's better this way. Much more to life than sitting back waiting for waves and swilling beer while sweating it out near the equator. Out for a surf this afternoon so we'll continue this at a later date.

I wonder if the expats in Rio, Mexico City, Bengalore go on Nextdoor and IG to bitch about the homeless/poverty problems in their new cities, or do they just talk about how bad their cities got and that's why they left?
