first five days in Chennai

Just to let you guys know that I am doing great in Chennai.

Let me try to summarize my five day experience in a few lines:

1. People here are very friendly, though they may be in poverty condition.
2. Traffic is unbelievable. KL/Melaka/Penang driving is heavenly compared to here, though I have yet to experience major jams here. Cows, goats, people, bikes, motorbikes, cars, rickshaws, buses, trucks all fight for space on the narrowest roads.
3. Weather's very dry and sunny. Doesn't feel hot though it should be. Extremely dusty.
4. My Tamil is progressing nicely. Even picking up Hindi and Malayalam from my friends here.
5. Visited my first temple in Chennai today. Their devotion is quite touching.
6. Still haven't tried food from roadside stalls yet...scared of diarrhea!
7. I haven't seen so many pretty girls in a city since I left Montreal. Going back to KL would be a major downgrade in this department HAHAHAHAHA.

Took many pictures, but won't be uploading any until I return to Malaysia or I get faster connection.
take care all.

Happy Valentine's Day. I will try to make it somewhat fun here in Chennai.
