The Chennai Experience 3.

What seems to be a lifetime in the meeting room later, I was finally heading back to the hotel, for another night, and this time around, I got a much better room *all smiles* Although the previous was actually, not that bad, but still, given a choice, I would prefer this. I was made to kinda believe good news comes in pair, because... I was told later that meeting only starts by ten the following day. Yippee!!!

Looks mighty fine, ain't it? Slightly more expensive, of course.

I wasn’t really sure if it was just the hotel, but I was surfing across 75 channels on the television, 70% of it purely Indian shows. I planned to have dinner then head out for a stroll before calling it a day, and since it was still way too early, I decided to take a quick nap. And what do you know; I woke up at 3am. WTF. I went speechless for about 10 minutes, checked the time again, take a look out of the window, browsed through the room service menu, then went back to sleep. So much for dinner and stroll.

Some random shots I took while moving around the city in the car.

Another random shot, more Wall's ice-cream peddlers.

Took my own sweet time for breakfast next morning and you wouldn’t believe what I had for lunch… Pizza Hut, because there were only two of us and theHead was in the mood for a takeaway I guess. Three words would be sufficient to describe the meal, WAY TOO SPICY. What exactly do they put in it? Jalapenos? Talking about fast-food, I was only able to come across Pizza Hut and Dominoes there, no signs of McDonald’s, KFC, or Burger King, etc. etc. Weird. Later on, theHead took me to a nearby complex, just to have a look around.

The Chennai City Centre. Photography prohibited inside. A sight for sore eyes, amongst all the other buildings surrounding it.

Unsure what this building was, but it's beautiful. Sorry for the bad photography, I took this in a moving car.

Chennai City Centre was the place, nothing really overwhelming, looks just like any other shopping destinations in KL or Singapore. Books were relatively cheap I have to say, mainly because it’s reprinted there; so, if you don’t really mind the quality, definitely a bargain. Went to some souvenir shop later on, lots of exotic bronze statues, beautiful ivory and wood carvings, shawls, hand-woven carpets but really expensive. The owner had been to KL numerous times for business he mentioned, after I told him that I was from Malaysia.

Making my way to the beach since there's still time. This picture quite old school kind of feel right?

Me Me Me. Don't comment on my hair please. Its the wind! I did not style it that way!!!

So I went to the beach next, which will be continued in another post, hahaha...

I know it looks like a church, but I did notice, when passing by, that it does not function as one. Couldn't recall the notice, cause it was just a quick glance. Or I might be wrong.
