Moving to Chennai
Hi can anyone advise me on the best areas to live in Chennai. I will be moving there in Jan 12 and need an in site on areas and standards f accommodation. I am currently in the UK but have recently been in the mid-east.
I will be on single status and any advice on expat clubs activities, bars restaurants and social scene would be good.

Re: Moving to Chennai
I know Chennai quite well as we have close relatives living in the T. Nager area. This area is great for shopping etc.
I don't have any knowledge of the expat scene though.

Hi Wolfman
Welcome to BE from me too.
Unfortunately I can't add anything useful about the Chennai scene.
Goa is only a short flight away, and has a huge social scene so it may suit you to pop down there for the odd weekend ? The beer is cheaper in Goa too (if that's your thing)
All the best with your move
