Last night I had a meal and wandered the streets in search of a bar to have beer in. I ended up in a nice hotel and got talking to an Indian/French family. An Indian brother and sister, the sister was married to a French guy and the siblings "mummy" was with them. We had a good laugh and they ended up adding my beer to their bill which was very nice of them. I think he was gay and a good candidate for George if a little old (45).
In the hotel this morning the waiter who had the phantom Indian girl waiting for me (see previous posting) was once again talking about girls and sex etc. I told him about the Viagra I had bought and he was fascinated especially when I told him it makes you good (or wood) for 3 hours (well that's what it says on the tin). He went away and told his waiter mates and they were all giggling. One of them came up to me 10 minutes later and whispered with a smile on his face (imagine a strong Indian accent) "fukeen for three hours?". I burst out laughing in the middle of reception and everyone wandered what was up. He made me write down what the tablets were called (Anagra) and went away giggling with his mates. I think they were in for a good night.
Today I got the bus to Mamalupuram. It's a seaside town with lots of rock carvings and temples. Very nice but there are quite a few miserable westerners here. I could slap them. Anyway it's not stopped me having another great day. I hired a bicycle again and saw all there was to see.
Now just 35 kilometres from Chennai. I will do that journey tomorrow morning, spend the last few hours in Chennai and make my way to the airport. I'm trying to fix up to see one of Pete's Indian mates who lives in Chennai so he can show me round the city.
Might make a post tomorrow if I get chance.

Hope this will make the pronunciation easy: Ma-malla-puram = great-wrestler-place

Ladybird. Perhaps I was being a little unfair - some of the westerners are distinctly grumpy - when I smile at them they do not smile back, but some of them are also nice.
Thanks for the pronunciation assistance - I do struggle with Ma-malla-puram-upper-um-a-malla-pum !!! :-)
p.s. Ladybird - I like your misspeeling(!) of the day blog. Very funny. :-)
Thank you. :)
My dad tells me that when he went to the UK on a visit, it was the Indians or NRI Keralites who ignored them the most or pretended as if they were not Indians at all.
NRI= non-resident Indian.
The NRI or Indians pretended that they themsleves were not Indians or pretended that your mum and dad were not Indians?
