Mumbai is a nice city, she'll be OK there. And it is not too far away, so either of you can come and visit as long as you bother to get the visa and cheap tickets. IMO, Vietnam 13 years ago was less easy to reach.

I see what you mean. I can already feel that I am not "where it takes place", whereas she is. That is why I am determined to start/continue as many personal projects on my side during this year. Kind of an emulation.
Fortunately, she is just 4.5 hours ahead of me now, and only 3.5 hours ahead in summer time, which will make upcoming videochat possible at decent time during the day for both of us.

If we could do it again, I would have had for sure taken 2 week off go see her at least once to see what she is living through. It would have made our re-acquittance easier. Easier said now, but at the time I was a student without much money...
I am now thinking of going there once for 2 weeks, probably at the end of next summer, after the mansoon. We could take this opportunity to visit other states of India too.

Barbu, is she the girl who lives with you today ?

She will not get back here during the year, as she has far less holidays than in France. Me going there is a much more probable move, so I am hoping things will go well until then.

Big news : I managed to sign a contract with a company to work for 6 months in Mumbai. This company is a local IT branch from my current client (famous French bank), and I will keep the same position as in Paris, within the same team. Kind of a telework.
I should hopefully leave in early July, if I get the visa on time, and get back in late January. Planning 6 weeks of holidays throughout the country total.

Of course I am very excited to meet my gf soon again. The distance will end after 5 months only, which were rough for us (especially me). This will also be the first time we really get to live together. And live conditions are tough over there, as Mumbai is a difficult city to live in.

Further news soon !

Working in such a country sounds like a nice adventure. Usually you'd leave a loved one behind, but for you it's exactly the opposite. I can imagine this was an easy decision Congratulations!
