I'm back!!

I'm back from Chennai. A day earlier than what was planned. Unfortunately other than having curries (mutton/chicken/fish/vege) everyday, I didn't really had a real taste of India these 5 days I was there. Not even the heat except for a day's visit to the local office. As it was all work no play, I didn't even spent a cent there. But one thing for sure, it is not as bad as I (we) thought it was and guess what, I'll be back in Chennai again on the 22 Jun.

• I used mineral water to brush my teeth and only drink from mineral water as I thought the smell of tap water was like soil. Bathing is from the tap water...I could not be choosy about that.
• The streets and traffic is similar to Bangkok. If you can go for shopping trips to Bangkok, Chennai is fine for you.
• The heat is similar to Singapore's so that is no big deal.
• People I met are friendly and speaks good english though the accent might be a little heavy to understand.
• It's curry and only curry for all meals (even breakfast). Luckily the hotel served a little more variety and we had a small selection of western food. Can't complain.

Overall, the place was not that bad. So I didn't use alot of stuff I brought there but nevertheless finished the 2 bottles of water I brought.

Was happy to be home earlier to celebrate dad's birthday. Home sweet home..

A snap from the car on the way to work. The busy traffic.

They have tuk-tuk like Thailand! Never tried though.

My parquet floored room. Not bad ....


Toilet was OK.

My Indian colleagues. I'm quite impressed with how they worked.

Dinner one of the nights when I had migraine.
