    I spent 5 weeks working in Bangalore many years ago (it's the software capital of India). I had no problems living there, although the poverty you see on the streets puts anything you will see here in perspective. I managed to survive even though I don't eat Indian food - the hotel restaurant worked out well and there is Pizza huts, KFC's etc if you get desperate.

    Bangalore is not a bad looking town - plenty of trees and millions of people of course. I stayed in a good hotel there but the company was paying for it. Word of advice: never eat seafood or shellfish in Bangalore. Your 100's of miles from the coast so it wont be fresh and you could end up spending a week never straying more then 10 feet from a flushable crapper. The locals must have stomachs of iron...

    My most abiding memory of the town (although it is 3 times bigger then dublin) is how every guy when he hits 13 grows a moustache. Was like being in the 70's again - I was calling bangalore 'tachetown' by the end of my stay. Enjoy!

    Theres not much to do in Bangalore. And its one of the most expensives places in India. Get out of there fast and stay along the West Coast and you cant go wrong. Plenty to see and do once you stay near to the coast.
