Living in Kochi
India · tropical
Kochi is a mid-sized city of roughly 600,000 people right by the sea in India. The climate is tropical. It has a lively, popular feel and is considered very safe. A typical month of living costs around $700. Healthcare is limited, so serious care may mean travelling, and the internet is generally reliable. People come here for swimming, art and culture, food and eating out.
Entro il 2028 qui è atteso un cambiamento concreto: metro di kochi, fase 2 verso infopark. La sanità privata (3/5) è nettamente migliore di quella pubblica (1/5): metti in conto un’assicurazione. Starlink e l’internet satellitare non sono utilizzabili in questo paese.
