Living here as a digital nomad primarily means maximizing your budget. Renting a 1-bedroom in the city center is about $400, dropping to $250 outside, making it genuinely affordable. You can eat well for $3 a cheap meal, or a decent $12 mid-range. Groceries add another $165. This place suits those who prioritize cost savings and aren't afraid of a bit of urban hustle. Infrastructure-wise, the internet is solid with 80 Mbps speeds, and there's a huge nomad community with over 80 coworking spaces. English proficiency is high, and the visa process is manageable. However, be prepared for an air quality index of 90 – it's a real factor for daily life. While overall safety is decent (index 62) and healthcare is fair (index 60), the sheer population density and corresponding environmental challenges are something to consider.
