I come from Spain and I am living with my boyfriend in Cochin since last month. He works here and I am looking for a job too.
I joined expat.com on 17 October 2012.

I came with my boyfriend who has been living in Cochin since April. I´d like to find a job here and settle down for at least one year. I´ve been doing a market research in the field of environmental engineering in India for a Spanish company and now I am looking for advertising agencies or language academies.

Hot weather, bad roads (long time to get anywhere),rubbish and sewage treatment, traffic and noise (everyone horning), gender disparity, class consciousness and rude queue jumping.
