Thanks for your input, I didn't want to start an argument on here! But as with others I found it hard to believe reading some of the expat forums that it was 'that' pricey although I am aware it's one if not 'the' most expensive city worldwide. You've given me food for thought with the comments!
I'm looking for prices on your average apartment, so not to hotel standards, nor do I want to be in bidonville/shantytown tent situation!
Can anyone advise me if there's an area near to the airport where say middle class Angolans live? I need to be situated as close as possible, at this rate it might just be a tent at the end of the runway!!! Anyone who knows Dar, thinking along the lines of somewhere like Namanga ... not too flash, but not in the sewers either.
Food prices? Shopping for an average week for say two people? Using markets etc as far as possible!
As you can probably tell, I've never visited Luanda so any further input would be great!
