There are no supermarkets, no western style fastfoods, lots of people everywhere, no waste bins, tourist office doesn't have a city maps and there is only one public transport if you don't want to study the bus routes system and hang off outside of the bus while in motion:
- autorickshaw:
but those guys have no fear of death and generally
the roads are crowded mostly by autorickshaws and motorbikes
who do not respect any rules or even road lanes.
Sorry there is one rule:
If you approach other vehicle or pedestrians crossing dangerously and unexpectedly always hoot the car horn, so you hear hooting all the time.
local Egmore train station:
in front of Chennai Gouvernment Museum:
stop at Hinduism temple during sightseeing tour:
Me, Pranab (medicine student from Kolkata), and his family(father is doing the photo) :
I met these people in the sightseeing bus.
They were very nice and friendly.
They introduced me to Hindu temple ritual.
We went barefooted(see photo above) from the bus parkplace to the temple, I bought an offer in front of the temple (coconut, banas and flowers), gave it to the monk inside the temple, he took my name and offer and went to a small room to pray, then I received these flowers with dust:
in my right hand and went to walk around god statues three times.
There is a nice long sandy beach area (Marina beach) in Chennai, many people there, but not swimming because of strong water currents.
