Chennai

Arrived in Chennai from Kuala Lumpur in 3 1/2 hours. No problem with airport - It is looking nicer since I was last here. So now begins the expected rally car drive to the hotel. It is still so amazing how the traffic skirms in and out with accidents being avoided every second. Just trust the driver - he knows the skinny.
Of course the Park Sheraton is one of the best in the city and the Executive rooms are well appointed with mahogany and marble, king size bed, a crap load of bathroom sundries (including fine pen and note pad by the toilet in case I get an ephiphany of the next great invention while on the lieu), Flat screen TV with DVD player, wireless internet and phone........ Funny that it is 3x the price as in Shanghai. Since I am not here with Hendrik, my Antwerp colleague I will have no one to dance with in the disco - so I will pass and get a light snack at the stoggie old man's bar. Tommorrow I sleep in - a little - and do some shopping - or walking - or both - I will try to escape the perimeter of the hotel and feel the street.
