Hyderabad notes

1. Footpaths are mostly missing. Dirt exists in their place.
2. People drive much slowly here. As compared to Bangalore. There are occasional traffic jams but not too many.
3. Pillars built for Metro or flyovers are numbered and used for directions.
4. Some of the movie shows are very very late. On BookMyShow I saw shows starting as late as 11:30PM.
5. Too many "International" schools. I am highly skeptical of their quality though. It's very hard to find good teachers even for CBSE. How would they find them for Cambridge curriculum? Even for UKG many schools keep pupils for 6 hours ! Quite unlike Bangalore where it's 4-5 hours. Most of the schools provide food and even if you don't want you have to pay for it. Some schools forbid you to bring food from home altogether. Some schools have impressive buildings. Most of the schools are very new. Bangalore has much more stable and mature education ecosystem and better teachers on average too.
