Home Sweet Home - Finally

We've been busy the past couple of weeks. Between Marc's meetings with colleagues and clients, getting settled into his new job and house hunting. We found a house that we liked and we believe it will be a nice home during our stay in Bangalore. They are currently busy with a couple of renovations. We are looking forward to moving in on Saturday. We have ordered some basic furniture which should be delivered within the next couple of days, until then we will have to sleep on a mattress on the floor but it's a small price to pay to get out of the serviced apartment. It's been almost 6 months and we've had enough of hotel living!

We also have a car and driver which makes it much easier to get around. However, our driver Ram is from Delhi, which did cause a bit of headache. Luckily they've organised a local driver Nagraj which should make our lives much easier.

We've had to buy all other household items from pots and pans to toilet brushes. As you can imagine it was quite a task finding everything, let alone finding the style or colour that we want. I can safely say we now know what it feels like to "shop till you drop". We walked out of the one home store (Like a Home Zone) with 4 guys carrying bags of stuff. Saturday we'll have the task of unpacking and sorting it all out.
