Hi Jay!

Where will you be working and do you have an idea of where you would like to live?

Oh and where will you be coming from? I'll be out until the 10th but I am happy to help once I am back.

Peace!

Hi,
Abidjan is not a small town so it is important to notice what kind of quarter are you looking for?
(residential ,popular...)
You can get home it is possible
On the other hand, you will find people for helping you...

To start with you should probably look around Zone4 for an apartment, but fair warning, be prepared to pay, accommodation is expensive if you want something reasonable.
What to expect with no french - in a sentence - a difficult time!!
I would suggest that you try hook up with someone that can translate and assist you, or you will struggle, not a lot of people speak english here
