Finding job is not easy, there will be some challenge in that area, but if you meet all the criteria, then its just a matter of time before you find something. You should take a trip there before you decide, go see it for yourself first

Expensive, same as all country, you can live cheap or live large. Transportation and housing will probably cost you the most. But otherwise I think the standard of living is closer to the low side of things

To my knowledge, like with anyplace in a country, it depends on where you live. For example, in the US, a person in the Hills (California) isn't going to be paying the same amount for housing as someone living out in the midwest on a farm or in Washington State.

If you live in the city, the expenses are going to be higher, which includes housing. If you live farther away from the city, like a country or rural like area, cheaper housing.
