India: Moving to Mangalore- Talk to me people!:

Hi!!!! I am changing my plans. My partner and I got the non profit and NGO registered. She now has the funds to start a children's hospital in Mangalore and wants me to come and help her get it started. My job will be administrative, queen cat herder and grant proposal writer. I am taking my daughter with me, two years old. Are there any Americans there? What is Mangalore like? How much does it cost to live there per month? We don't need a big place, nor do we need all the American comforts...just to hire a woman to help me do laundry and cooking on occassion. How much does it cost to hire good help? Is Maleria prevelant? How far is mangalore from Balacuppe and the Tibetan settlements? Thanks!!!! Tracy P.S. please feel free to email me at my address: kiybubumo@hotmail.com

India: Moving to India after traveling through China and Nepal:

I am meeting my man in Asia and have to bring our stuff with us(my daughter and I). My first stop is China...I am taking the jogging stroller with me. My daughter, at two, is 30 lbs. Our second stop is Nepal then on to India. I am going to be packing up books, a few art supplies and my daughter's toys. Stuffed animals and her kid's books. We are not taking much clothing. I know they make great inexpensive clothes. I want to know how much weight a large rubbermaid trunk will hold in pounds! I need something BIG(regulaton size for air plane cargo)!! Something that won't crack up while the people unload it off the airplane. Anyone know if I can attach wheels to it without ruining the structural integrity of the trunk? And can I make those wheels fold so the box doesn't roll around in the cargo hold? It's just me and baby! The man is picking us up in Beijing. Thanks!

India: Moving to Dharmasala with my toddler:

Hi everyone. it is great to read your posts and replies. So many kind people! :) My name is Tracy and I am moving back to Dharmasala India in the H.P. I lived there two years ago and am itching to get back. This time my girlfriend/partner(business) and I have a registered NGO. She is Indian and working out of Mangalore. I am going to work in Dharmasala after I get our non profit up and running in Berkeley California. So here goes, I am getting dual citizenship with India and the U.S. I want to buy a house in Dharmasala!!! I love the town and need a more stable place to settle with my daughter than hopping guesthouses. How much is this going to cost? I am looking for a small house (indoor squat water closet, kitchen/ living room and two small bedrooms.) It must have a garden around it. I want to grow some veggies and such. It must be a max of one hour walking distance from Mcloed Ganj. Anyone have any ideas? What about taxes for the property? Who do I have to pay and how much, including backsheesh? I also need to know is the soil safe(my daughter is a dirt muncher) and what poisonous plants and animals live there? Anyone know about the hummingbirds that are an inch tall? What is the scientific name of the HUGE spiders? What else should i be watchful for with a toddler..she is nearing 2! I really appreciate the help. Take care all!! Tracy
