India: moving to Chandigarh:
Bank cards are easy to use, just make sure you tell your Cnadian bank that you are going to be in India and for how long or you may find they won't permit transactions.
The local beer is excellent. Import4ed beer is expensive and mostly not as good as the local stuff.
Not sure what you mean by currency calculations. Your card transactions will be at around the spot rate plus a transaction fee. Pennies on the $.
Dunno about Chandigarh, but there are usually expat hangouts.
India: New in Pune! Friends sought:
Rob,
You have probably found the Pune expat groups by now, but if not drop me a line and I'll send you their details.
We're past our best sporting days but like to get out with cameras and again if you're interested let me know and I'll send you my mobile number.
Hope you're enjoying Pune.
Paul
