Kilima,

seems like our situations are quite similar.

I am originally from Dar and have been in Canada for 40+

years. I am retired and want to move somewhere warm.

Have you managed to get any useful info since you

posted your request ?  I am also looking for info !

Probably Arusha,Tanga or Mwanza. Dar is ok too

Oysterbay/other members;
     New to forum. Am considering TZ since my girlfriend is from Arusha. She was back 2 yrs. ago, talks to her family weekly and thinks the traffic is really bad there since most people don't have licenses/insurance. Gas is expensive[$9-10/gal?].Lots of accidents. I haven't been in TZ in 10 yrs but have to decide on retirement soon. Arusha used to have a good online English weekly. The Arusha Times.
     Otherwise, TZ is a big place with lots of quiet smaller towns than Arusha and maybe traffic doesn't bother you. I like to bicycle so for me its important.
     Am also considering Central/S.America.

Just came ( kick -off ) from Arusha in Dec 2011 , big big corruption there even Immigration , always want You to give $$$, so when You refuse , well , they stamp,  your passport & give You 10 days to go out ,,,, without reason , one of my best friend was murder last Oct , for no reason , ??? last week (Aug 6 th 2013 ) 2 volunteers in Zanzibar were very badly hurt, it"s started from a slap in the face , for singing ( Ramadan ) , then they throught them acid in their face, so if You think Tanzania is nice , pls think twice ...
