Chennai in April- May 2010

Hi

Welcome to Chennai! Finding a job in Chennai is not difficult. There are lot of opportunities. Even my office is in the process of hiring a few people for different positions. So, may be I can help you in that regard!

You can roam about freely in the city. Locals might stare at you, they also do that to foreigners (I guess that is for the skin color)but otherwise this is a safe city to live in.

However, you can have difficulty adjusting because the weather is too hot and humid. Specially, the summer is terrible and the temperature can be as high as 40 degree Celsius. Food is another problem for expats. But do not worry, there are a handful of good restaurants too.

You may also face language problem when communicating with the locals. but, you can manage with a couple of english words. Chennai autorickshaw drivers are notorious. and they are ready to rob you if they see foreigners. you need to bargain a lot while taking a auto.

HI 

welcome to Chennai!!!

About work it depends on what field you choose, we are good in IT...
Chennai is a good place to live, but climate would be terrible in summer.Am sure it would be a nice place to live!!!

If you feel missing your french pals, pay a visit to Puducherry
3-4 Hrs drive from Chennai. You can see them there.French is considered as official language  in Puducherry.

It's completely safe to live here.

Enjoy your stay

Thanks

Hello

I'm French and I'm 24 years old. I'm coming in Chennai beginning of May to work.

I'm looking for an apartment or somebody who would like to share an apartment in the south of chennai.

Is it difficult to find an apartment ? Do you know some websites to find an apartment.

Is it difficult to be alone for a girl?  Is it easy to meet some people ?

Thank you
