we toured the mysore palace again (bloody pretty wedding hall! with peacock as design element, luxury and elegance in one~), decide that the builder was indeed a corrupted king XD, went to the famous market, ate more mysore park, had another thali lunch and left.
the train ride to chennai, the old madras, is one that shan't be overlooked. again we were on the 1st class, just that this time it got even more impressive. snacks/tea/coffee/softdrinks were served every hour, and there was a meal in the end also. it's just like air travel service~ the karnataka-tamilnadu landscape was magnificent. mountains and ranges pop up from the flat land all of many suddens. people with belly full of yummy food and eyes full of yummy scenes are happy people. it was a happy ride.
when we arrived chennai around 9pm, tejas was there to receive us T.T to make sure we find our way to chennai park station T.T told u he's the vishnu.... he brought us some munchies for our 1hr train ride to tambaram, where our host sachin (tendulkar!!) stays. he got onto the same train with us, got us both places to sit and then got off at egmore station. the train that doors never shut, and electricity goes off once in a while was actually a pleasant ride, as the people around us are all friendly and eager to help (praise indian hospitability~~). the guy sitting opposite me couldnt help smiling when he saw me taking out dad's camera snapping random shots (hey, for me they are all new and interesting ok ^^). tejas's continuous sms to make sure we were alright was heart felt. thanks buddy :)
we got our own room at sachin's place. he is an experienced couchsurfing host who has hosted 23 people from all kind of countries before us! we had a short chat and he let us off. june was so tired that day she left the tedious job of bathing to the next morning ^_^
right, 3k in 15:46 this time. keep it up!
