This city provides ample working environment with suitable methods of public transport to get around. The city offers a wide variety of amazing areas to visit and enjoy and also has an amazing array of cultural and ethnic temptations to the palate. Something to consider before moving to this beautiful city would be the extremely humid weather that persists for half the year followed by torrential rains for the next half. It is by far one of the most developed cities the country has to offer.

Ernakulam is a versatile city. It has many faces it depends on where you are going to move out to. The cost of life ranges from high to low as you consider places. The same is about opportunities. If looking for a better life here I would recommend a move to Kochi since it has an abundant pool of opportunities to bring up your life and it is more fun in this place so much to see and learn.

Our state is known as ‘God’s own country’, but please remember to apply sunscreen on your face and body(because the sun gods are a little harsh on us here). We have beautiful temples, palaces, museums, churches, and iconic spots that you can visit; local and five star restaurants to enjoy the flavour of our city; and amazing people that you can meet.

Ernakulam is a beautiful place. The lush green environment is sure to enthral anyone. I suggest anyone who wishes to move to my city, to experience this place first hand, as life in my city is slow paced and an enjoyable one. One down side of my city is that, the availability of groceries is not always certain. One has to drive for a pretty unreasonable amount of time to get daily necessities. The people of my city would love to see new faces and would welcome new lives with warm hearts.

Know Malayalam. Locate oneself near the railway station, airport, and other government offices. To own a house one should make sure that the land is not wet and flood prone. It would be better that he/she stays in a hostel if alone. one should make sure that he/she has a permanent job.

The city that I live in is Ernakulam, which is the capital and the financial capital of Kerala. People of all culture live in harmony. One wouldn’t have to be bothered about neighborhood while moving in here, as the people here always look out for each other and all the facilities will be available around. As the state is also known for its spices and flavours, one should also try the special curries and the Malayalee food here. As for the climate it gets pretty humid at times but there’s rainy season as well to compensate for the humid days. Taking all the factors in consideration, Ernakulam is a good state in Kerala so as to move in.

Ernakulam has a rich local heritage, which is represented through art and antiquities. Even though urbanization occurs at a very fast pace, the city’s cultural heritage is integrated to its urban fabric. Nowadays people are visiting my city for commercial purposes and jobs rather than for leisure activities. Some of the top tourist destinations in my state lies around the city which makes it a focal point.

Ernakulam is a metro city and may not be easily adaptable to people moving in from rural places. The people present don’t have that much helping mentality and all are too much busy in their respective works. If moving in the city dreaming of making good money, then they should move in soon.

Moving to a new city can be difficult, but there isn’t much to hinder you in Ernakulam. While things like the language barrier are often a problem, a large part of the population of Kerala is well versed in English and the people of this city, even more so. It’s not all going to that easy though. The weather here is notorious for being unpredictable and the humidity is irksome even for long-time residents.

To start off with the mosquitoes. It can be big an issue until you are adjusted to it. you can avoid that by using repellents and closing windows before dusk. Language won’t be an issue as most people will understand English. Most of the hotels and bakeries serves non vegetarian food. You can find most of the well known in any of the mall or around MG road. Hill palace and Jew Street are some of the famous tourist places incase you are visiting some. And I suggest hiring UBER cabs than relying on local taxis or auto rickshaws. They are a lot cheaper than the local taxis and rickshaws.
