142 Old Mahabalipuram Road Chennai (Madras), Tamil Nadu, India, 600 096, 44-3988-4444
... around.<br><br>The next day we passed through Dambulla and visited the temple caves there. As far as temples go it was pretty cool to see. Then I got to Kandy and finally got rid of the driver. He tried heap and heaps of times to convince me to have him for the last couple of days and pay some more money (which he reckoned would be cheaper than doing it myself) but to be honest I couldn’t wait to get rid of him. I found myself a really nice place to stay with my own balcony and ...

Madras, Tamil Nadu, India partimejob4all... rupees is about forty US cents per day. After spending 5 days in India, I am convinced that some Indians live on 20 rupees per day. There are a lot of homeless people and beggars. And I think that many of the people I saw working were probably day laborers, so they might work one day per week. Life must be incredibly bleak for many of them. But 70% of the population? I honestly don't see how they could survive.
Chennai (Madras), Tamil Nadu, India jodytompAfter spending a few weeks with family and not having to travel every other day it was time to get out on our own again. Our first stop was the sleepy town of Mamallapuram. Mamallapuram is filled with gorgeous, intricate stone carvings and temples from the Pavallava ...

Chennai (Madras), Tamil Nadu, India emex... go for a swim first thing in the morning today, whereafter I set out about town to see the primary attraction of Mamallapuram (my God, did he just write that much and that was not even the main attraction...). Mamallapuram is famous for its carvings, and there are numerous UNESCO World Heritage Sights scattered around town, with great carvings and temples and so forth. Some were just huge rocks, with interesting and giant carvings of elephants and ...
Mamallapuram, India jtodhunter... was no sense of generosity or hospitality like in Burma. They didn't care if you weren't seeing the real India or seeing how they lived, they merely saw us as walking dollar signs and wanted nothing from us but our money. Yes, we're tourists. At the most basic level, everyone who travels abroad is a tourist. It doesn't matter if you're a diplomat or a weekender. I understand that we're there to see the sights, meet the people, but ultimately to spend money ...
Chennai, India jsiker... awkward position for about five minutes while they dueled it out and the Red Sea ended up winning, and was told that only one member could move on and that a guy would have to step in. They agreed to that and a few more rounds of Twister were played with other teams, and then it was announced that the Red Sea was going to go against the Aegean again (the team they had already beat) with a girl and a guy this time to make it 'fair.' So they did and Red won again, imagine that! It ended ...
Chennai, India destinationomadWell, well. Saree shopping is quite the adventure! We started off the afternoon going to Dr. Kumar's house for tea, and some sort of snack. It was odd, and I have no idea what it was. Anyhow, we met his mom and dad, I like his mom, she's cool. After tea, we headed out to shop. Dr. Kumar came with us to the jewelry shoppe so we would get a good deal. It was fun, but we spent forever there. Next we headed off to shop for sarees. This was incredible. The ...
Chennai (Madras), India elizabessie... til dusk you can hear the steady clink clink clink of the stone mason's hammer. Vast blocks of granite are turned into fantastic sculptures of Ganesh (the elephant-headed god), Shiva, the Buddha and many different Hindu gods. The tradition goes back centuries and nowadays the stone carvers make statues for many temples around India and Sri Lanka. They also do a roaring trade in making statuettes for tourists. We planned on buying a Ganesh statue until we found out the dealers ...
