One masala dosa, two masala dosa, three masala dosa, more...
Christian here! Well my first experience of India is Chennai. The people are very friendly, talkative and zany. Ricky Ponting is a popular association to Australia, and I'm told by a reliable source in George Town that Sachin Tendulkar is now a has-been. We're off to Trichy tomorrow in an Ambassador - a 5 hour trip with 'the' Shanks, Lorraine and Astrid. Think I'll bring a pillow as a panacea for the boring company (he he). Can't wait to see the other sights of India. I've realised that we're only getting a taster in the month we're here. So, already planning a trip back - maybe to the north. I've also been told the meaning of love, life and wife by a drunk man at Pondy Bazaar...
The food is wonderful - it's been almost impossible keeping up with Shanks' consumption of dosas (a thin crispy crepe with a spicy potato filling). He is truly an eating machine and I'm not sure if I should be amazed or scared! Lorraine is waiting for her first taste of kulfi (delicious Indian icecream) but is yet to have the desire met. She has been stared at by weird men who are unsure if she is of their kind or not. Astrid is a most popular figure with the fellas and kiddliwinks - must be those exotic looks (and blue hat)!
Next post...Trichy.

Enjoyed the report Christian. As for the 'Shanks' remember unlike carnivores, herbivores have to graze for about 15 hours a day. Good to hear they know about the all-conquering Aussie cricketers. Remember the 'last laugh comment' Lorraine? Back home - fires and heat! Happy travelling.
Shanks senior.
What's going on Christian? You get given the secrets of success given to you by a man during a weak moment of drunkeness...and you don't share them with the rest of us! I imagine you've got the book and subsequent speaking tour all worked out. Don't forgot the little people once you've reached dizzying heights...
