Hi Clercqal,

I do know a Belgian family in Chennai. They have been here around 6 months now and I think they plan to stay for another year. I will speak to them this weekend, and if they agree (I'm sure they will!), I'll PM you their contact details.

Hi gertie,

we will be arriving in Chennai mid or end of June. If your friends are willing to meet other Belgians, please let me know!
It is aways nice to talk to someone of your homecountry, especially if you just settle in a place like India.

belgians in Chennai

Isabel,

We are also from Gent.(what a coincidence)
I'm here since Jan but wife and kids will join mid July.

We definitly should meet one day and keep in touch
On the other hand I know of at least 3 more families joining
in July-August which means the Belgian colony is getting bigger
and bigger.

Cheers
Alexander

Hi Alexander,

yes, we should definitly meet!
These other families,are probably us and 2 colleagues of my husband (seems like to much a coincidence).

We will be there mid june! Keep on eye on this forum. I will try to send a message as soon as I have computer and email ready!

Which area do you live? We found something around boat club.

Tot gauw!
Isabel

Isabel,

We live in Palavakkam on ECR which is close to school for the kids and pretty near the beach (500meter)
If more details required, I suggest we pass coordinates via private messages on this site

regards
