We arrived in Hyderabad, India just over a month ago and what a month it has been. We're already starting our third week in our apartment and have settled in nicely. We have even had our first guests for dinner on Saturday evening.
We went to the SPAR on Saturday and liked it, the only problem is that it is a little far to travel but we can do it once every week or so. Although I don't think the distance is the problem but rather the time it takes getting there. I tried to take pictures but after the first one the security was upon me and we were followed the rest of the time. Only my fellow South Africans would understand but for the rest, the SPAR is a local grocery chain in South Africa and a couple of other countries so it seems. We also got a nice surprise to see that they sold some oranges imported from South Africa. Needles to say, we had to buy some.
Sunday, Nov 21 we had a family day at Teresa's office. It was fun but they catered pretty well for kids with lots of activities for them. We were looking forward to the Tupperware stall but failed to locate them, it seemed they did not arrive yet.
We finally got our bank account up and running and we are in progress transferring money from the US to India. This way we can save some bank charges.
I went to one of the local vegetable/fruit stores and bought a bunch of stuff, all for way less than we would pay in USA or South Africa.
Well, the more we get into a routine and settled in the more the news gets less. Here is some more pictures we took over the weekend including the one I managed to get at the SPAR.

Well, that is all folks, hope to see you back next week for some updates on a fun week lying ahead for us. We have a wedding on Tuesday and Wednesday and a fun filled Thanks Giving weekend with some local sight seeing.
