We had coffee just around the corner from our apartment at Bread Works and met some people inspecting these apartments. Each level is one apartment and constructed using concrete blocks and rendered. The horizontal line is created by rendering over string and then removing the string and smoothing the edges. A lot of the heavy work is carried out by these women pictured. Their whole family live on site while it is being built. We think their husbands do the carpentry and other more intricate details. Each unit will sell for 5 Crore which is about 1,250,000AUD. Can you believe that?! We are living in the best part of Bangalore - apparently.
While sitting there Mike introduced me to one of our neighbours, Scott from Plano, Texas. He has been here for nearly a year and sounds like he is going stir crazy. He is ready to go home to his family who have not been able to visit! His wife has a life! Or so he says.
