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 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 2009 version of the Expat and NRI Survival Guide for Bangalore covers some of these requests.

We have taken care to cover a wide range of subjects and answer many questions that may be on the top of your mind. The ebook has the following sections:
