India's Modern City? 🇮🇳

My first experience of India's south. This is my third trip to India and the first time I've explored outside the north of the country.

I flew from Jaipur to Chennai in the state of Tamil Nadu and my first impressions were that it's a very modern and clean city, by Indian standards. During the drive from the airport to the city centre I saw a lot of green, new-looking buildings, the roads were in good condition and people actually obeying the rules of the road while driving.

I chose to stay at a hotel close to a metro station so that I could easily get around. The metro also goes to the airport but I forgot about that and took an Ola (an Indian Uber alternative.) The E-Hotel is attached to the Express Avenue mall which makes for a lot of convenience.

I checked out the mall food court which mostly has international food. I guess when Indians visit a Western style mall it's Western food that they are looking for, not Indian cuisine. I did find some local food though. That's if you can call eating northern Indian food in a southern state authentic, maybe locals won't. I had a delicious Amritsar Kulcha Paneer from a Punjabi street food vendor.

As nice and modern as new Chennai is, I wanted more to explore the old Madras. That's just what I did and you can see my adventures in the old town on the next vlog.
