Speed Touring Chennai Pt 2 – Pictures by the Sea (Mamallapuram)

If you recall, last month I shared with you the pictures from the city of Chennai.  Today, I wish to share wiith you the pictures I have taken during my visit to the UNESCO World Heritage Site – Mamallapuram.  Since last year, I have attempted to track all the World Heritage Sites I have visited.  And I certainly wish to visit as many as I can.

To view the picture collections, please click onto the links below.  I do enjoy visiting these historical sites.  Kind of make me ponder what would someone’s life be like hundreds of years ago.

Speed Touring Chennai Pt 1 – Pictures from the City

A montage from my short Chennai trip - pictures from the city

If there is such a term as ‘speed reading’ or ‘speed dating’, I guess my trip to Chennai is speed touring in the finest. I have written two articles for my two days visit. Click onto the link below to view.

To recap, out of the blue, my bosses asked me to join them for their ‘VIP visit’. Fine. I have not been to India before. And besides, since I was not in the project’s travel plan, I shouldn’t be doing much besides making coffee and writing notes right?

OK. That picture I had in my head was far from the reality. There were questions flying left, right, center, pointing towards me in a room so full of people including all my bosses and more, for 2 days. Certainly not a good time to screw up or look stupid. Oh well, I really should consider writing a song titled “So I Did My Best”.

So I did my best. Work aside, I managed to squeeze out time in my 2 days trip to Chennai and took some pretty good pictures during the day. At one point, I was so excited that I winded down the window of car and started to take pictures. Everyone inside was screaming as though I have committed the silliest mistake in life.

And I did. No one in India sticks out any part of their bodies from within the moving vehicles that are often inches away from each other. Gosh!

I hope you will enjoy some of the pictures I have posted in the next two articles. If I was to have a bit more time, I would love to hit the beach. Maybe next time.
