Ravi 11th Sep 2010

My Chennai is one of the cities which is considered as an Icon of BOTH Culture ,civilization,Tradition and Modernisation....

This is a city not many foreigners know about.

It has the largest beach in Asia, is home to one of the biggest film industries in the world - Kollywood and houses BMW and Victoria's Secret factories. South Indian food is excellent but sadly not well known outside India.

Chennai is also famous for traditional music and dance as well as its numerous saree and jewellery shops. Warm all year round - avoid May-July. The temples are beautiful too - the popular ones are the Kapaleshwar temple in Mylapore and the Madhya Kailas in Adyar.

Friendly and helping people, people understand English, nice and clean beach, pretty calm, cost of living cheap, safe city, traffic controlled, well connected, you get all you need, cops are helpful too, nobody disturbs you as in, could not see hooligan activity or teasing.

Ravi, you are very wrong in at least one respect. South Indian food is now much better known and very well liked in many coutries outside India, Especially the Dosai's, Idlies, and Sambhar etc, if not the full Thali. In Houston, Texas where I live. a city of 4 million inhabitants, there are probably close to 100 hundred South Indian restaurants.And dont think that only customers of Indian origin go there. Many of my American friends have a habit of visiting some such restaurant once every week or so.
