English teachers are in high demand in South East Asia.
Employeers of Asian countries pay forigen teachers larger salaries and
look after their staff.

Why don't you hire some of the teachers that Nova sacked in Japan last
year?

By the way George, you are permanently living in Bangalore? Have been
only once there in 1992, and would not choose that place for living.
I've heard that Bangalore has become even worse since then.

Yes I am. I try to go where the work is and India is fairly newsworthy at
the moment. Bangalore has some infrastructure issues - the roads and traffic
are crap - but the weather is great, the people are friendly, the food is
good, officials don't bother me and I live in a nice duplex. That's more
than I can say for most places I've lived.

What about cow manure? Do you find it time to time on your soles? Isn't it
steamy hot down there?

Not too many cows in the city compared with other cities, if you're
really interested. Some temple cows, and Nestle has a dairy farm. They
don't bother me. Bangalore has one of the best climates in Asia ....
1000 metres above sea level.

The sun must be very strong, right? I've been told that the traffic is
terrible, people needing two hours by car to cover short distances. How
clean is Bangalore?
And by the way, are there big modern shopping malls? In 2004 I visited
one of the first modern shopping malls in India near Delhi.

The sun seems less strong than, say, Singapore or Sydney. I try not to be
outside in the middle of the day, but sometimes it's unavoidable. Mornings
are cool, even now, just before the monsoon.

Yes, the traffic is terrible because the roads were never designed to take
so many vehicles but driving times are also unpredictable. Bangalore has a
population of nearly 7 million; 25 years ago it was 2 million. The new
airport, which allegedly opens tomorrow night, was 100 minutes away in a
test run I did last Wednesday (the current airport is only 20 minutes from
my place).

Unfortunately, shopping malls are coming to Bangalore, too. They're not huge
complexes like in China - yet - but I still don't like them.

They've been in Bombay for some time but people don't like them for anything
but meeting people and eating.

A couple of the big ones closed last year.

They don't seem to fit the Indian lifestyle terribly well,  possibly because
hand tailored clothes are really cheap,  designer labels don't matter there
if you're over about 35 years old and buying groceries is still a social
occasion rather than a fight to get to the check-out.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.

Supermarkets seem to be popular - but Bangalore has a higher proportion of
single people not living with their families than many Indian cities. (I
rarely go to the supermarket without having a conversation - usually with a
local matriarch about price or inventory). What I can't fathom is the
single-brand stores: large glitzy shops devoted to Reebok, Adidas, Rockport
or whatever.
