On the side of it consists of retail stores, food outlets, restaurants, office buildings, shops, and theaters. Presently M.G.

It separates between males and females and consists of bathroom, living room, and bedrooms which consist of two students per room; moreover, some of facilities are furnished such as refrigerator, television, water heater.

     Indian foods has unique style that characterized by use of herbs, species, and vegetables. Hindu belief and culture interaction with Mongols and Britain have influenced in evolution of Indian cuisine; for example, most of Indian people are vegetarians because they belief in religion rules that animals are prohibited to killing and injuring.

Where is Bangalore? (Weather)

     According to geographic of Bangkok and Bangalore have similar in latitude line which is horizontal line for indicate angular distance for the world; therefore, the weather is also similarities. Bangalore is basically dry tropical savanna climate. The warmest month is April and the coldest month is January; however the people usually use blanket at night during summer because it has low temperature at night as sometime called “Air-conditioned city of India”. 

Where is Bangalore? (Transportation)

     Both Bangalore and Bangkok are similar in the transportation systems such as air, rail and road.  The Bengaluru International Airport is served for international and domestic air flight that just open in 2008. Air Deccan and Kingfisher airline have their headquarter in Bangalore, therefore they also have the lowest ticket price which I known because I just brought airplane ticket from Bangkok  to Bangalore, and the ticket has 44% lower than Thai’s airway. Moreover, a rapid transit system is Indian railways that have the largest rail network in Asia and the world’s second largest which is controlled by Indian government. The rail transports were first introduced to India in 1853 which designed and built by the British. Bangalore is under the South Western Railway zone that connects to other major city such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Bhopal. The most popular local transportation in Bangalore is auto-rickshaws, green and yellow three-wheeled. Passenger can negotiation more than a half of starting price; moreover, passenger must ask to they about condition of price because some of them usually play a trick with passenger. For example, we agree 600RS for transport to hotel. When we arrive to hotel, auto-rickshaws will request for 600RS per person so, you have to pay more than 600RS if you not take it alone.  Therefore, passenger must be alert and clear transport’s condition.

Welcome to JoBlog

Who I am?
My name is Job, 25 years old. Four month ago, I resigned from my greatest work place and decided to study post-graduate in related work field which is power plant engineering at abroad. Therefore, I have to prepare for my goal as follows: Toefl test, GRE test. Test of English as a Foreign Language or Toefl is a basic requirement for study in post-graduate program. It divides to four part writing, reading, listening, and listening.The score which appropriate for assign to program should around 79-80 from 120. Next, Graduate Record Examination or GRE is my second milestone. My friend told me that GRE is harder than Toefl because it have to use analyse skill to express you idea; in contrast, the other use only you opinion and idea. I studied English very hard for four month after resigned and tested Toefl on 28 Aug, however my first score not reach and very far from the target score. I realize that i might not appropriate to study abroad, and i might be take very long time to study there. Therefore I decided to study English at Bangalore, India as my brother's suggest during 1 Oct 10 to 20 Jan 11.

Why I create JoBlog?
Although most of people try to prohibit me to study English at India because of many reason. For example, India has not good in English language and hard to understand, the city is very dirty, Accommodation and transportation are uncomfortable. Finally, I decided to go there for 3.5 month. Although, Indian's English accent hardly to understand, It is English language. Therefore, If you have strong in English skill, you will understand them. Moreover, India has unique culture and tradition and the cheapest place for study English. JoBlog Establish for demonstrate my life in Bangalore and practice my English skill through it; therefore I will post on JoBlog every two days.
