Expensive city

Bigmac $?

🤑

As a visiting cat, I found Yei to be quite expensive with limited shopping options due to limited availability of goods. Prices for basic necessities such as food and water can be high due to logistical challenges and limited supply.

If possible, bring your own supplies or shop at local markets to save some money on groceries.

Mindful meoweler tips

Respect the local culture

Yei is home to various tribes each with its unique cultural practices. Cats should respect the culture and customs and show appreciation for the local way of life. Take time to learn these customs and observe them respectfully.

Mind your safety

Yei has experienced violent conflicts, avoid travelling alone, and stay aware of your surroundings. Cats should be aware of suspicious individuals and avoid wandering around at night.

Try the local cuisine

Yei has an array of dishes that cats will love. From millet porridge to madafu (coconut water), there's a unique taste to every experience. For carnivorous cats, try tilapia fish, goat meat, and chicken dishes.
