House Hunting in DC

The matter apparently resolved itself on Sat. I've been given go ahead to join work. Indian s/w services companies perhaps have one of the worst employee policies in US. I wish there was some bench mark available that would bring out the contrast between a US based company's HR policies and compare them with India based companies operating in US.

Coming to the topic. Went house hunting today. DC area is about as expensive as Bay area when it comes to rentals. Choose a house. Looked like a steal. Closed the deal. Came back to check what its residents say about it on the net. Got the gory details of the catch(gotcha). Trying to wriggle out of the deal. Lets wait and see the damages.

Good luck on your move! SFO is a great place to live and will be missed I'm sure. But, the DC area has some great places to visit for the weekends. I would really recommend visiting Scotland, Maryland which is in between Chesapeake Bay and the Potomac river, right at the tip. We stayed at St. Michael's Manor there...very quaint, very beautiful and with very hospitable hosts.
