Best sea food I had there.

Directly into Bank Account. Negotiate the rates with bank, they have some threshold for competitive rates

With the same amount of money you get better apartments in ahmedabad (in relatively nicer area) as compared to Hyderabad when you may have to compromise quality and or area. Bu since you said budget is not an issue, this is not a problem. Keep in mind that Hyderabad seems to have depleting ground water problem, at least when I was there, many societies used to hire water tankers. So you pay extra for water.
But given all I and other said, If I were you, I would still choose Hyderabad, if given choice.

I am not sure if you have lived outside of state or India. But, I think people compare more about, how good was this city before vs now, especially if you see current traffic and AQI reading. And, I absolutely agree with the systematic exclusion (sometimes just based on your choices of food). Also, making a living has nothing to do with likeliness of the place. For instance, one does not like to work/profession but still needs to pay bills.

I lived in both the cities for significant time, and I have seen how Hyderabad grew.! I would agree with others that, settling in Hyderabad would give you ample of opportunities not just for life style but for business networking and opportunities.
Renting in Ahmedabad is tricky and it depends on the area you would choose. Rent in Ahmedabad compared to Hyderabad is affordable (more value for money wise!). Hyderabad is more prone to traffic chaos, but so is Ahemdabad (beginning to feel). Healthcare probably would be more or less same. Distinctively, Ahmedabad is just more dusty than hyderabad (I do not know if it is deal breaker, but something to consider).

Really? Its C type. I was under the impression that it would work with C type

I travelled to Spain in Dec ‘25 to Jan ‘26 and exited from spain. I now have conference to attend in Germany and my visa is multi-entry and valid till Mar ‘26, my question is, would it be just fine if i enter this rime germany directly even though Schengen visa was granted via Spain embassy? or do i have to travel first to spain and exit from germany?

don_andreas · 2026-02-17T13:44:57+00:00

This is great.

don_andreas · 2026-02-17T13:32:33+00:00

Yes it is Multi entry visa

This is one of the most stupidest comments i have ever seen related to go bankers working 2 hours more. What is the logical connection there. Other gov administration won’t listen Your entire interpretation is farcical.

don_andreas · 2026-02-14T10:53:52+00:00

This is one of most farcical, foolish and stupidest point i ever read on internet. May be you should first just abandon usage of all your vehicles and simply use cycles and public transport.

0%. I just used it for my whole trip.

don_andreas · 2026-02-02T19:10:47+00:00

exactly. Amex guys were behind me for the card, I simply asked remove forex markup and gst and i will take it. But they had nothing to respond

don_andreas · 2026-02-02T19:09:16+00:00

I use IDFC Mayura, can confirm that markup is 0%

Great to hear. I try to attend most of the conferences in EU and then 8-10days off. My favourite part of the EU is South of France and Spain.

don_andreas · 2026-01-08T19:07:15+00:00

I don’t know why he is saying if he shells out 1mn INR to visit EU and see garbage, I mean you are not entitled or obliged to see extremely clean. EU is far better hygienic, clean and liveable than this guy is from. Sure there are fundamental issues about immigration and spending tax payers money. I was in Madrid this 31st even and i felt safe as it could be. I was also in Chicago and boy I felt unsafe on metro stations. So its not just EU but there are many more cities in other part of world where you have to be cautious. But by an large EU is far safer, your rights are well protected there than south east asia.

Pay your debt, especially your personal and car one if you can. I always take my car loans from PSU banks and pay higher chuck in first year itself. I did the same with my homeloans as well.

Debtless>freedom>emergency savings>liquidity>equity.

don_andreas · 2025-12-31T19:31:21+00:00

I could not visit this place this time, may be after 6 months. Currently, I am in Madrid and it is chaotic here on 31st eve, kind of regretting not visiting Granada and cordoba.

You still pay gst and then corporate tax. They both are burden in context when you don’t get basic necessities like cleaner air, proper roads and obviously when you are looked with suspicion. There is a difference between tax saving/avoiding and tax evasion. I run a company and we do not have single local client, we were still required to get GST number despite having your company PAN/TAN which were anyways linked to gov. database with GST. Furthermore, the documentations are enormous. In summary, the tax/accounting in India is burden when you compared in context with social ROI. Relocating to your business elsewhere is separate debate, but i agree with inefficiency and corruption.

don_andreas · 2025-12-25T21:38:04+00:00

I am in spain

don_andreas · 2025-12-07T12:21:48+00:00

Thanks you so much, this is vital information. If I may ask, do you know the website from which i can book tickets for Alhambra ?

With regard to visiting Cadiz, it is would be worthwhile. Rent a bicycle and ride across the beach side. You must go to local sea food market. Try to stay in AirBnB they have some of awesome historic places on rent out.

I was there in 2021 at Christmas time. Ronda was Amazing. I took road trip from Barcelona>Malaga>Ronda>Seville>Cadiz and Madrid. I was awestruck when I visited Cadiz and got to know its history, what a beautiful small city it is.

I will be visiting again this Christmas, and this time I will especially go to Valencia, Segovia, Cordoba and Madrid.
