Algeria: locked up in a house, is it possible????:

Hi I am a young South African living in Algiers and although i am not suprised that an Algerian man is keeping his wife hostage in his house, i can assure you it is not very dangerous here at all. EL Biar where she lives is a good area with many embassies and diplomats and the surrounding areas are very safe also. If she needs help to get the cars into the country, i could try assist/advise as i work for an international logistics company in Algiers. Alternatively if you want me to check on her i will be happy too. Juan

Algeria: Seeking views on living in Algeria....:

Hi Jen I am a 26yr old South African living in Algiers. I spoke no french or arabic when arriving and managed just fine. Most shops have someone who speaks a minimum level of English and are quite happy to assist you. If i have to be honest this is not the ideal country to live in, unless you are here for work reasons. Entertainment is scarce, food is poor quality, choice at supermarkets is extremely limited and driving can be a nightmare. On the positive side, algerians are extremely friendly and welcoming culture. There is a decent expat community and if you makes friends that way, the experience can be alot better. In terms of work, i know the english/french language schools are always looking for english teachers. They seem to have a shortage as they keep asking me. Otherwise not sure what else to tell you, of course my experience are my own and others may feel differently. But in general not the easiest country to live in but certainly has its pro's. Jay
