Hello Kimmy,
You need to consider few things in mind and decide :-
(1) Place has a great climate
(2) Multi Racial
(3) Security - Be ware
(4) Banking Cost - High
(5) Insurance Cost - High
(6) Telecom Cost - High
(7) Evening Life - Almost non existent
(8) Transportation - No Public Transport, Private Transport cost is high

When I say high, it's much higher compared to any other developed or developing economy.
