From one expat to others!

There are lots of books on Bangalore available on the net and in bookshops all over the world, yet the article on being an Expat Mom, written by Joanna Budelman, Co-founder of Chillibreeze, attracted a lot of email enquiries. What to bring? Where to live? How safe is the place? Will it be difficult to adjust? What about schools? There were ever so many such questions in these emails! This book provides some of the answers. Real-time experiences and advice from expats who have lived here have been spun together to create this dependable guide.

The first version of this eBook went live on our site in August 2006 and we started seeing sales from the very first day! A number of expats wrote to us, offering suggestions and requesting for more information. This upgraded version of the Expat Survival Guide for Bangalore covers some of these requests. The new sections that have been added to the guide are on Visas and on Investment & Business. Also new is a ‘Q & A’ section, with questions we received from expats through our Expat Newsletter – Bangalore Breeze.

Similar Expat Survival Guides for Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune are under production. If you are an expat living in India, do contact us and share your experience or tell us what you would like included in such books.

The Content

The content has been structured keeping in perspective the specific requirements of expats and NRIs who are moving or have already landed in Bangalore. We have taken care to cover a wide range of subjects and answer many questions that may be on the top of your mind.

Each section has information presented in a Question & Answer format to make it an easy and interesting read. You have all the information and advice you may need on the city, housing, utilities and services, schools, public transport, lifestyles, recreational options, security, opportunities for women, information resources and the like. This updated version includes sections on Visas, Investment & Business, and expat ‘Q&A’s.

Chilli Tips, a trademark in all our publications, gives you tips on what to do and what to watch out for. We have even included a long list of things you may want to carry from home!! Of course, all this is subjective, but we have tried to be as objective as possible!

In tune with reality: Most importantly, we have taken care to include the experiences of expats who have lived in Bangalore. You have genuine reactions and honest opinions that give you a true and realistic picture of the city. It is an up to date account on the city based on research and insights by a set of people who have different experiences of living in Bangalore.

We hope that this book helps you explore and discover Bangalore. Mail us and tell us if the book lived up to its name.
