Hi!

I don't know about that city, specifically. I was looking into a job in Hyderabad, previously.

I think taking the family overseas is the best option. Our friends were reluctant to do it, and leave the US. Once they got there a couple of years, they were mad when they were transferred back to the states.

I think going to an International (usually English speaking school) with kids from all over is a HUGE advantage for your child, especially as our US economy globalizes. Their ability to understand other cultures, hopefully speak at least one other language, and friends they meet from all over are a great benefit to them in their future adult lives.

I know that my kids, just from their N. American travelling experiences, and MUCH well versed that others that stay local here in GRB.

And as for security? I know lots of people think that it is more dangerous living overseas. It depends on what you're comparing it to. Some places overseas are MUCH safer than some places in the US, and some places overseas are much more DANGEROUS than some places in the US.

I used to live in SAV, which had the highest murder rate per capita in the US. Their were about 55 murders for only about 240,000 people in 1992. I know there are locations in most US cities where most pilots would not feel safe walking alone at midnight, and the same goes for overseas.
