Kolkata - Post Report Question and Answers

Knowing what you know now, would you still move to this city?

Absolutely not. - Aug 2021


I would. The lack of green space activities for kids the biggest drawback for me. - Dec 2020

Yes. - Mar 2009


Yes, but it's been a very difficult post in many ways. The secret to enjoying life in Calcutta is managing expectations.

Calcutta is a very special place, even if (or because) it's enmeshed in a time warp. - May 2008
