"Lack of safety ie electrics, windons on 6th floor that fully open, wires coming out of plug sockets and connecting to street electric viva wires from your window. The metality of the middle aged me here... will ingore women, cut you up on the road then beep at you like its your fault! The lack of children groups and support for parents. How close family life is," remarked another expat in Algiers, Algeria.
"Being the only one from my country here. Getting people to understand my meaning behind my words. Finding someone that thinks like I do," said a member in Blida, Algeria.
