My first impression was as if I am in part of India  The natural language is Hindi is spoken every where. and dress code is our way of dressing somebody ultra modern.  several countries food stall available mainly Indian hotels.  mainly south Indian one.   We are having our own office branch here nd we took hotel accommadation in city seasons which was near our office and my son always stay here while coming here.
