Survival Tips

Here are a few tips assembled from my friends and I (in no particular order):


·         Throw yourself in to as much socially as possible - a real lifesaver!
·         Join TEA
·         Go to ladies lunch and join TEA. Only way to meet people unless you play a sport.
·         Find a nice place to live in, very important to feel good at home
·         Bring your own stash of favorite dried foods. Other than that you can get pretty much everything now in Hyderabad.
·         Read every horror story about India possible... and then everything will be a pleasant surprise!
·         Try to be patient for everything. Also you can be rude to Indians, if you want them to get it done quickly.
·         Live in a community with other expats. be open minded to explore new things. take it easy. surrender!
·         Keep busy, find things you haven't had time for or never tried.
·         Try new foods, go to religious festivals and EXPERIENCE LIFE!
·         Hire a good driver...he will be your helper and link to the world
