Summary:
Caught 6:30 train to Chennai (6 hours 320rp-$10 each for a/c seats), Booked into "Paradise Guest House(550rp)".
TFTD:
Chennai has sealed roads so not as dusty.
Main river (Korukkupet) is like a garbage dump, People washing in it.
No wireless anywhere.
Odd foreign tourist.
Poverty is extreme but less aggressive beggars than Tirchy.
Found and booked better hotel than Paradise for 1/2 the price (300rp night). 1st "indiamike.com" review is inaccurate.
So far the food is great and no poisoning but starting to crave fresh salad/veggies.
Unreserved cheap ticket line to get on the train was absolute madness. Hundreds of men trying to fit though one door whilst guards hit them with sticks and yelled. Despite the urgency/roughness to board, no fighting.Wondering what the situation is. Must have a quota?
