Bangalore is called the "Garden City of India" with its many gardens and boulevards. Its pleasant climate and laid-back charm attracted many senior citizens and thus later on came to be called as "the retired man's paradiseā. But today it is a thriving business center, focusing on information technology (IT). Bangalore is considered the IT capital of India. It is also called the "Silicon Valley of India", and has concentration of software technology related activity, which is similar to that of the Silicon Valley in California. <A HREF="http://www.fortunehotels.in/hotel_bengaluru.aspx" REL="nofollow">Business travelers</A> and <A HREF="http://www.fortunehotels.in/hotel_bengaluru.aspx" REL="nofollow">leisure travelers</A>, both can enjoy staying at <A HREF="http://www.fortunehotels.in/hotel_bengaluru.aspx" REL="nofollow">budget hotels in Bengaluru</A>.

That's like folks who go on vacation to exotic places, only to stay in a Club Med where they're insulated from ever meeting the locals or seeing the local culture...<BR/><BR/>What does Anna think of it all? The photos of the CIS looked really nice - were those kids in uniform? It seems like a huge (though not bad) change for her. <BR/><BR/>I'm also glad to hear you like Bangalore. I'm jealous - I'd love to pull up stakes and move somewhere totally different for a few years. Maybe when the kids get a little older, eh?<BR/><BR/>Your description of the crowds in the mall sounds like what my friends Greg & Sandra said when they traveled there a few years ago - huge crowds, but not aggressive, and somehow okay in a way that they wouldn't be, here.<BR/><BR/>Keep writing!

I think in India, people will always notice you, just because you're white and an attractive woman, more out of curiosity than anything else. However, if you felt comfortable wearing Indian clothes (salwar kameez), you might feel like you stuck out less, because then at least you would seem like a long term expat with some understanding of the culture, instead of a random tourist. I have some non Indian friends who said it helped when they went there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
