Hello!
My husband and I are Canadian teachers, who have recently accepted teaching positions in Bangalore starting in Sept. We are very excited about our move and would love to hear from any other expats on their experiences in the Garden City. We have 3 children, aged 5, 3.5 and 2 and will be looking to make the adjustment for them as smooth as possible. Any comments? Also, I wonder if anyone has the names of any English language nursery schools/preschools in the north end of the city that they would recommend. Looking forward to establishing contacts and friendships for everyone involved,

imc

Hello

We are also considering moving to Bangalore from the US...We have 3 children ages 9,6,4...what school will you be teaching at? Do have any thoughts on the different international schools? Have you a feel for the international community there?

DH is going for a visit in April and then we will make the final decision...at this point our plan is to go

Regards

Theresa

Hi there,

I just graduated with my Computer Science degree, and I've just arrived for a one-year internship in Bangalore. I don't really know anybody, and I'm hoping to meet people, especially fellow Canuckians.

So far I'm really enjoying the city, and adjusting fairly well. I've only been here about 5 days, and things are certainly different from Saskatoon!

Hello, Glad I found this site. From Hamilton, Ont, moved to Winnipeg for 5 years and lived in Arkansas now for year and a half. Husband currently considering job offer in Bangalore as teacher at animation college. Have 4 children ages 11,9,7,2. Would jump at the job in a heart beat if in Canada or U.S. A bit more hesitant being so far away. Any advice, words of warning, things we would not imagine to consider never having been there yet, websites to search for apartments, or general info on Bangalore would be great to help us make the decision easier.

So, the possibility of moving to Bangalore becomes increasingly stronger. Probable move would have to occure sometime this Feb or early March.
What do you take with you and what do you leave behind? I have experienced moving across country and into U.S. but not across the Pond. What is realistic to take? Furnature? Appliances? toys? books? just cloths and dishes? what about computer? or even phones? Need lots of advice, and little time to get it.

Are you going to teach at CSI by chance? I was there for about three years. Loved the experience overall (inspite of inevitable frustrations) and I really enjoyed living in Bangalore. So much that I hope to go back. email if you are interested katburg@rogers.com

I strongly recommend Gaia Preschool and Childcare Centre in RT Nagar.
It is definitely the best preschool i've seen in Bangalore. It has a large garden, is clean and has good teachers.
