Great post! To add:

Accommodation.

It's a shell game. They will show you something nice at the selection, what you are actually assigned will probably be in the middle of a construction site. Which is what the entire city is. No big deal you say? Try listening to pumps and generators running, cement trucks backup beepers going, jackhammers, buses arriving with slaves, I mean subcontinent workers, doing shift changes every 12 hours,, six days a week...try listening this to months, possibly years on end. Try dealing with the constant filth caked on your windows that probably don't open. Don't worry...they'll clean them, twice a year.

Oh well, then...take the utilities allowance and move out. Well, except the amount won't really cover the skyrocketing rents that are part and parcel of rampant inflation. Buy? Sure, why not. You shouldn't have to dip into your own pocket TOO much to cover the mortgage shortfall every month, assuming you are moving into something you would actually stand to live in...

Come if you wish! But PLEASE know what you are getting into.
