First revisit trip of the year and it was good in many ways. I think I have finally found my 'Miami' group equivalent and it was in the most unlikeliest places of all (yes i know there is no word like that). The trip came about in a very odd fashion with me not even wanting to make the trip because of stress reasons. Alas as with most trips I have made (Virginia Tech, Ft Lauderdale 2004 and the ever famous Miami Caper 2002) I caved in and said it would be good to finally get out of BLR and head for some nice sunshine and maybe get some beach time in.
Things to do when in Chennai
------------------------------
1 - Avoid telling people a specific time - Heat and Traffic will cause problems
2 - Remember to buy deodrant in bangalore cause man you will need it when you get there
3 - Remember to eat burgers at Baywatch (We get good stuff in some places in BLR but the taste is something to remember)
4 - Do not go to Mochas unless you want to be like someone acting in the Godfather Sauna scene
5 - Remember that Rajnikanth is bigger than the good lord himself so be careful about what you say and do with the moustache man.
6 - You will start saying things in languages you do not understand (english mostly)
7 - Take the chance to enjoy the fact that booze is much cheaper in BLR and drink less
All in all I will say that my concept of Chennai is now a far cry from what it was last year when I erratically visited the place. Had i known the people i met on this trip I probably would have had a better time but considering my frame of mind when I went there I will say that I think that it was a smart decision on my part not to call anyone lol.
City Rating
Overall - 6.5 /10
Weatherwise - 7 /10 (Yes I grew up in the mid-east and I love the heat)
Beach/Entertainment - 6/10 (As with any place the people make it not the place itself but I have been to places where the beaches just blow your mind)
Alcohol - Undecided (Did not get to try any of the local stuff but who knows maybe next time)
Drugs - Undecided (Although I got a very nice offers at Zara's hehe glad I kept that one to myself)
People - 9.5 /10 (This trip would have been an utter waste had I not gone with some cool people)
Revisit Factor - 8/10 (Still lots to see and more places to go so I will visit again maybe in only shorts)
Song used while writing this blog - SJB and Jane Weidlin - Rush Hour (Fonzerelli Hot and Sexy Remix)
