Hi! I will come to Chennai and do some research works at IIT-M research park, probably end of Sept/early Oct. I have never been to/live in India before, so totally have no idea what it is like there, just gathering info from the net. I need info and tips especially to plan for the accommodation and transportation.
1. Where should I stay for six months? Im looking for a place (good and safe) near IIT-M research park. Should I rent an apartment or stay at guest house? I will come to Chennai alone but my husband/mum/dad/sister will come to visit sometimes. Perhaps can buddy up with other female expats for houseshare? How much will it costs?
2. Hows the public transport in Chennai? Is it safe? Is it easy to get cab and hows the fare? Should I rent a car for six months (although they say its really challenging to drive there)?
hope you guys give me some info. tq
