Cultural Experience

A Predominantly Muslim Nation

• This country has very little Gospel presence, and the city is one of the most spiritually dark and unreached areas in the region.

• A heart for the Muslim people and a willingness to embrace their culture is essential for thriving in this environment.

• The people are hospitable, honest, and open, but students will need to learn and respect certain cultural norms.
   

Food & Daily Life

• Expect a diet of rice, rice, and more rice—though noodles, bread, and peanut butter are also available.

• Western fast-food chains like McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, and Starbucks have made their way into the city.

• Climate: Being close to the equator, temperatures stay between 75°F – 90°F year-round. The rainy season occurs during the winter months and is a welcome relief.

• The sun rises at 5 AM and sets at 6 PM daily.
   

Adventure & Activities
The city offers endless opportunities for exploration:

• Malls for shopping, dining, and entertainment

• sland excursions, scuba diving, snorkeling, and jet-skiing

• Hiking, caving, and waterfall exploring

• Fishing, swimming, waterparks, and more

• Most activities are affordable and within an hour’s drive!
