For example what is the rent for a 2 bedroom apartment in several cities in India compared to the same thing in Chicago. What is the cost of food and the cost of eating at restaurants in India? How much does it cost to have a maid in India? What are dental costs if I have a cavity in India? What is the cost of petrol?

India is one of the safest places on earth in some respects.
Well the roads may not be safe but violent crime is unusual. I would much prefer to be in Bangalore than Los Angeles or any American city.
It is my guess that CNN just made a false statement online. I think it will be corrected today. They said
The Times Of India said 126 foreigners have died in Goa over the last two years and in January this year a 30-year-old British woman was raped
I am almost certain that this is not accurate so I hope they correct this soon.
We noticed lots of traffic to a webpage about boarding schools in India so we are creating a book. It is almost ready and will be available soon at www.chillibreeze.com

We are getting a lot of interest in the cost of living in Bangalore. People are considering moving to India but they don't know what to expect. One report I read said that rents went up 87% in 2007! Is that possible? I wish some readers would post some information on this.

Here is a clip from the September Issue of the Bangalore Breeze newsletter
Chillibreeze is excited about this issue - having a baby in India! Here's a popular subject for young expat families moving to Bangalore. Our darling daughter was born in India in 1999. We followed the Indian custom and had my mother fly to India to help me with the birth and care of our first baby. I'd say that the experience was a bit of a cultural adjustment for my mom. Be sure to read her entire account of the dramatic event. One memory I have of my pregnancy is how I longed for someone .....

American ‘Medical Refugees’ in India
Medical tourism heralds the birth of a new breed of refugees- “Medical Refugees” as the New England Journal of Medicine(NEJM) calls them. The article in NEJM throws light on the plight of seriously ill Americans who seek treatment in low wage countries. “These patients are not ‘medical tourists’ seeking low-cost aesthetic enhancement but middle-income Americans who need life saving surgeries and want to evade impoverishment by succumbing to expensive healthcare options in America”
The below paragraph is taken from a must read article for those wondering about Bangalore schools. The article published on May 25, 2007 in the Bangalore Breeze Newsletter.
The other issue with local schools was second language. My daughter would be in middle school and it seemed unfair to stick a new language on her as well as the challenges of adjusting to a new environment. So that ruled out most of the excellent local schools in Bangalore which would have required a reasonable amount of proficiency with a local language. Another school, with a international approach to learning, Aditi Mallya we ruled out because of distance. With my husband working at ITPL in Whitefield, it seemed like the whole family would be commuting for hours if we lived in Northern Bangalore.
We went to Wonderla on a Tuesday in December to beat the weekend crowds and the lines were short. Our daughter had a blast. From her perspective it was similar to DisneyWorld. I give the place a thumbs up for fun. The water is clean and the rides seem safe. I can't comment on the food because we only ate a cup of sweet corn. A few kilometer away is Eagleton golf course and hotel if you want to spend the night. So endure the one hour drive thru traffic and enjoy the beautiful Karnataka countryside and have some fun at Wonderla. And you don't even need a swimming suit everyone (except us) went in the water fully dressed including ladies and girls is school uniforms.
The top 10 concerns about moving to Bangalore.
1) Schools
2) Health and health care
3) Can I get this or that
4) Polution and traffic
5) Cultural adjustment
6) Food
7) Where to live
8) Finding a nice house or flat
9) Friends for kids
10) How to get around
The Chillibreeze expat newsletter, Bangalore Breeze, has received great response. We are thrilled that our subscribers find this an informative and fun resource. Our premier issue was even mentioned in the press!
The newsletter is writen by KC Comal. Here is her story.
KC refuses to limit herself to one label. Among the many hats
she wears are: Full time mom, part time writer, teacher, chef, art collector,
gardener, quilter and extremely good vacationer. She has lived in Northern
California for close to 20 years and has spent most of those years stopping
frequently to smell the roses and plant some lavender. After two decades in
Silicon Valley her husband will be working from Bangalore. KC has two children,
a 12 year old daughter and an 8 year old son, both of whom are finding the move
less stressful than they had feared.
The next Bangalore Breeze Newsletter will go out this week. Our editor tells some very interesting stories of her experiences as a newcomer to Bangalore. Here is a preveiw.
A couple of
days ago, I thought the kids were looking a little out of sorts. They denied being homesick, but they had been
troopers through the rigors of house hunting; I decided we needed a day
off. Looked up movie listings and went
to the theatre to watch Over the Hedge.
The theatre itself was swanky and plush, even
though we had opted for the mid tier seats (about $3.00 each). The truly luxe seats are about $9.00 and you
get to sit in individual leather recliners, with a menu you tick off your
preferences on, and are served by waiters materializing with the food.
As it was we gaped at the usher who came around asking us .....
