Some dude literally just walked into my gym and offered to put me up in Hyderabad for a year to run his crossfit gym. gently caress it I'm going if the offer is legit. Even if he just buys me a plane ticket and dumps me over there, hey, I'll be in India. Tell me about this city I know nothing about but am now considering moving to.

My neighborhood dry grocer would keep it stocked, but failing that a dedicated pharmacy/OTC medical goods stand (of which there are many) will keep it in stock. They also use these thingys with a fluid tank you plug into the electric outlet which puts DEET in the air kind of like a glade plug in. I have one in every room of our house and we haven't seen a mosquito since. No one I've spoken to uses a mosquito net. They're incredibly blasé about them to be honest. I live in Nectar gardens, and everyone just tells us to keep our doors shut between 6-8. anyway if any goons need a place to crash we have two extra bedrooms so whatever.

i have to get to London from Hyderabad for a job interview. On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being only minor flesh wounds and 10 being certain death moments into takeoff, how bad is Air India?

Don't worry about money or a withdrawal limit. I can't imagine how you'd even spend 10,000 rupees in cash in a week unless you're trying to buy a GODDAMN COMFORTABLE SOFA WHICH DOES NOT loving EXIST IN THIS COUNTRYAnarkii posted:Fiz you still running crossfit gym in hyderabad?

thethirdman posted:Both! There are packets of supari/betel nut and packets of tobacco. A lot of Indians use both, continuously. Think of really ratchet skoal. It's the bright red/yellow stuff you see rickshaw drivers spitting constantly. I've also heard it makes you high but I'm not sure I believe that. Indians are weird when talking about drugs. All my security guards are clearly high as poo poo late at night. When I asked what drug they're using, my friends just say "oh, they smoke a lot of tobacco."
