What should I pay attention to when working and living in Africa?

What should I pay attention to when working in C? te d 'Ivoire, which is famous for its economic development in Africa? C? te d 'Ivoire means "Ivory Coast" in French, which is also commonly known as "a country destroyed by immigrants". Abidjan, the capital of C? te d 'Ivoire, which is famous for its economic development level, is called "Little Paris of Africa" and "Bright Pearl of Africa" because of its economic miracle, attracting a large number of foreign laborers. Today, Bian Xiao will show you the matters needing attention when working in C? te d 'Ivoire.

0 1 In terms of work, Chinese enterprises in C? te d 'Ivoire basically have a day off or a day and a half a week, and the construction team of the construction team has a slightly longer working time. Being out of touch with local people's work may be no different from that in China; However, if you have business dealings with local people, you should be prepared in advance for black people to eat cards or muddle along. One of the greatest benefits of working in Africa is being cautious.

In life, Chinese enterprises generally rent houses to live in single-family villas or apartment buildings, and build bases or dormitories where conditions permit. Most of them are safe. Pay attention to prevent mosquito bites in daily life. If you feel unwell, you should seek medical advice in time, especially when you are shivering. There are two clinics run by China people in Abidjan, which are very expensive, but they can still treat malaria.

As for food, China enterprises are generally equipped with chefs, and almost all the general ingredients are available. There are also some Chinese restaurants and restaurants in Abidjan, such as Red Panda, Wang, Jasmine, Wuzhou, Hotpot Restaurant, Sichuan Cuisine, jiaozi and Charcoal Barbecue. Before, they also provided night take-out service. I wonder if there was any take-out service during the epidemic.

Besides, Abidjan calls itself Little Paris, with many foreigners and many specialties from other countries. McDonald's also has a store in Abidjan. In addition, if you are interested in local dishes, you can also try it. Fried bananas and stewed black-bone chicken are very famous in the local area.

Leisure and Entertainment All the entertainment industries in Africa are underdeveloped. Although Abidjan is a metropolis, it is not mature enough. Most local residents engage in all kinds of nightclub games and entertainment, just singing, watching football matches, dancing and drinking. Besides, there are some famous shopping malls in Abidjan, such as Prima, Carrefour and some cinemas, which are already very good in French-speaking countries in Africa.

Improve your safety awareness, don't leak money, dress simply, and don't bring cash if you can use a card. Try to avoid disputes with local residents, don't have to take special public transportation tools, and hire employees to introduce drivers and their own vehicles who know each other and know the local real-time road conditions as much as possible.

You'd better not come out at night. Even during the day, it's best to have local people with you. In unsafe places, you should bring security personnel, check the security at home in time, and equip yourself with self-defense weapons and baseball bats. Don't watch the activities of the police on duty.

Before going to Africa for medical treatment, all the rabies vaccines that can be injected are ready, so more medicines need to be prepared. Pay attention to mosquito prevention, be diligent in hygiene, and don't hoard water, which is very easy to attract insects. It is best not to stay indoors at night. Choose mosquito nets with good sealing performance at home.

There are not many China people in C? te d 'Ivoire. It is said that there are only a few thousand. However, with the political stability and social and economic development, more and more China people come to China. Compared with other cities, living in Abidjan is quite pleasant. These are all places to pay attention to when going to work in C? te d 'Ivoire. Do you have anything to add? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area for discussion.
