Bangalore

What a city. Whatever I have seen in India, this is the best city ever. Here are the reasons why:

1. The climate is moderate and doesn't change much during the year. Now in monsoon season it rains, sure, but not as much.
2. One can buy alcohol
3. they have bars, european style, where I, as a woman, can enter on my own
4. people hold hands in public
5. there are at least 2 huge parks in the middle of the, admittedly congested, city. The air is therefore a lot better
6. Shopping is a dream, especially with the Euro/Rupie conversion rates
7. its still Indian, with meals places, street vendors, vegetarian places etc.
8. everyone speaks English. It is a multi"state"/national city, people prefer to communicate in Hindi
9. they have a huge IT sector ;) which is highly respected (because they earn insane amounts of money). people understand me when I talk about what I do!
10. Girls wear western clothes and smoke publicly. I was only being teased one night, but I waited for a friend in a spot where you shouldn't be.
11. Its still India, with all its chaos, bargaining and flexibility.

Honestly, this city tempts. Maybe in a couple of years...
