Yemen: Aden or Sana'a?:

Hi all, I'm moving to Yemen at the start of January to teach English to adults. I have the choice of living in either Aden or Sana'a, and was wondering if anyone has any advice? I'm a 25yr old female from Britain, and have just lived in Tripoli, Libya for a year, so am prepared for living in a relatively strict Muslim society in terms of clothing etc, as I gather it's pretty much the same deal as in Libya. However, where to live? I do love the sea, but only if I can UTILISE it. As a woman, are there any private places where I could swim in the sea? What about diving? Does anybody go diving there at all? Also, I've heard the heat can be unbearable in the summer months- does anyone have first hand experience? What about Sana'a? Is it more strict that Aden? I've heard the weather there is much nicer- is this true? What about outside the city? Do people go hiking etc? I hope someone has some answers for me, as books are only helpful up until a point. Thankyou! Mel
