Bangalore Boogie

We have officially accepted a volunteer position as teachers at an English Langauge Institute in Bangalore, which is in the southern state of Karnataka, landlocked between the Western and Eastern Ghats (which are mountain ranges running up the coasts of India's penninsula). The city is considered the "Silicon Valley of India", the country's high-tech capital, home to Internet giants Wipro and Infosys, and one of the fastest growing cities in the entire country. With all that said, it is also thought of as one of the most Westernized Indian cities as well. It will be quite a change from Calcutta, which we will live in for the first month that we are there.
