      I am glad you printed this info, Lala, journey was on yt crying she has no money using her 3 year old as bait I know to run off to Africa from the states it would be more expensive than the carribean I was saying she needs at least 2.500 a month with a child, because you don't know what could happen,surgery or other serious illness to the child, when I told her to go back to America, she told me to get my troll ass off her yt, not that I care, because in my mind as goblack2africa says there are a lot scammers out there

    Informative video concerning the economic and social stratification in Tanzania. You presented a well planned budget layout; evidently you've done the homework necessary to live in Tànzania. I speak from experience having friends and family living in Dar and Moshi areas
    The issue of departure from Tanzania every 3 mths(90 days) can be addressed if you understand the visa and establishment of residency requirements. "Do Not Seek Out a Local Lawyer for Immigration" do your OWN due diligence with immigration authorities to seek the best way to gain residency their are NEW programs installed by president Hassan that makes the process easier. Tànzania is becoming a power house in east Africa. Just take your time and have patience you'll be fine , because you'll definitely find your niche...karibu kaka na dada (welcome brothers and sisters)
