We live in Nuremberg, which has a pretty old city and loads of history.
It is not that far fromMunich.
If any of you ever come down, do let me know and we can spend some time together and get to know each other.

Hello... i am veena...i m looking also looking for friends in munich...its just been a month here.

Hi! I'm Latha, moved to Munich just about 5 weeks back. I'm married with a 2.5 yr old son. We lived in Dusseldorf before Munich for 4 yrs. We both are originally from Chennai but have been away from home for quite some time (my husband over a decade and myself 7 yrs). I would love to catch up with fellow Indians in the city ...

Hello Ladies!!
My name is Sonali and I have been living in Munich for a bout 7 weeks now. I moved here after getting married. My husband is an Austrian and has been living here since last few years. We live in Schwabing, off Leopoldstrasse. I guess I would love to make some friends here in Munich and hang out with them.
Looking forward to hearing from you!!
Ciao ciao,
Sonali

Hi

Am Archana from Taiwan and we will be shifting to Munich sometimes in June or July.

I will appreciate if somebody can guide me with the following questions, as I have two grown up girls (15/8 years).

1) Best international school

2) Place where I can find Indian grocery

3) What kind of house and area I should go for (flat/landed house) as I also have a pet.

4) Any other suggestions or ideas I should look for

Looking forward to .............

Hi Archana, Welcome to Munich! Around the same time last year we shifted to Munich:) You're arriving at the right time.. summer, long days and you'll have lots of time to explore. I cannot reply on point number 1 since my boy is only 3. As for housing it depends on whether you can drive. Not all apartments allow pets. Since we preferred only an apartment inside the city we never looked for houses. But I know couple of my friends who live in independent houses (or row houses) in the city with access to public transport. With 2 grown up children and a pet, personally I would prefer a house! As for area you might prefer closer to the school. I don't think all schools have bus facilities... but as I said i'm alien to this subject so i would rather not mislead you. For Indian groceries, I shop in Kohinoor and Hat Bazar. Both are in Adolf-Kolpinger-Str (the first one is no. 10, the other one just next door). They're very near the U-Bahn station 'Karlsplatz (Stachus)'. There might be other shops too but here I get most of the things I want. You might be interested to check out Toytown Germany - English language news and chat a website maintained by expats in Germany. There they have loads of info about schooling and other things in their Chat Forum section. Do get back if I can help you in any other way... Latha

Thank you Latha for your reply.
I really appreciate your valuable comments.

Take care

Hi Archana, I'm still organising various infos i often find on internet. This website also offers info for english-speaking families in Munich Munich Kids - a resource for English-speaking families living in Munich Latha
