[quote=GUEST23335,278997]there seem to be quite a lot of indian and pakistani in guangzhou. there are a handful of indian restaurants, at least two are good (i like haveli near the overseas chinese village and the taj near the huatai hotel), though it's relatively expensive, just like any other decent foreign food. indian groceries are available, but you kind of have to go all over to find everything (anyone know an indian shop that sells all the spices and dals and everything in one place?) guangzhou is the only place i've lived in china and it seems to be more expensive than most other places in china. but the average salary is higher too. the metro is great and cheap, and cab flat rates are only 7RMB (compare 10 in beijing, 12 in shenzhen). apartments can cost you anything, from cheap basic places to v. high-end serviced apartments. i have a friend living in haizhu district, nice, safe building big 1-bedroom for 2,100RMB/month. not sure about internet, utilities, etc. i had a canadian-indian pal who just left guangzhou. he said there was some amount of distrust between indian businessmen and chinese workers. course, he blamed it on the low-quality chinese work, not the low indian pay! of course no one thinks they're the ones in the wrong.[/quote]
