[quote=Anonymous]If I had to summarize my answer in one sentence I would say:

Like living on a different planet.

But if you like long answers, here you go:

Everything about India is just so different, the food, the people, the traffic, the culture, the languages, the climate, the politics, the immense diversity. Aside from this, foreigners have different experiences living in India, both good and bad.

The good: The people are welcoming, the cultures are fascinating, the Bollywood movies are great. Almost everything you need is available if you live in a big city like Bangalore, from restaurants to grocery stores, shopping malls and entertainment. Travel is easy with plenty of Auto Rickshaws, trains, cabs and airports.

The bad: The pollution, the heat during summer. The garbage (granted the current government is starting to do a lot to fix this), lingering social and religious tensions. Overwhelming paperwork/bureaucracy to get things done. Traffic.

Overall, I think foreigners either love it or hate it, but Speaking for myself, I did not like living in India. It takes a special type of person to embrace the culture in India. There's a reason lots of Indians are dying to live abroad. Some even ship their babies back so they can focus on working in the US instead of taking care of their children! I've seen it with my Indian coworkers. [/quote]
