Hogenakkai

Sadly, this is probably my last trip in India......well, maybe not that sad after all la....coz it implies tat i'll be going back to malaysia~~~~haha.....


getting sick of travelling in india....dun get me wrong....visiting new places was an eye opener for me...what i hate was the transportation.....transportation in india is super expansive and not comfortable for long trips......their seat was stiff, non adjustable and not hygienic....apart from seat, most coach does not provide air-conditioner....air-conditioned coach cost more expansive.....where got such thing one....*&^%$#@!*&.....curse India....

so if you travel without a/c...get ready for some dust eating moment....and a bad hair day....i dun understand how those dust manage to get my hair all sticky and tangled together.....






Okay, enough of the complaining.......time for photos.....
Went to Hogenakkai (famous for its waterfall) last Sunday.......about 2-3 hours away from Salem........




our coach for the day....which was non air-conditioned....haiz.....

braided my hair to prevent it from getting messy...but the stupid rubber band broke the moment i reach there...so much for waking up early to tie it....

another vain pic of me......

starting point of boating.......those boat look like large chunk of rock or tortoise back from far....
Photobucket



the sun was kinda bright and i had to squint my eyes.....my eyes now look like Brooke's from pokemon.......

Photobucket




well, the boat wasn't the one that i had in mind....I imagined a banana shaped boat, but instead i get a coconut shaped one....India never fail to surprise me....
Photobucket



Dozens of people swarming around us trying to sell us their product....mostly fried fish,....I might have bought it if i hadn't seen the way they cook it....wtf....



Photobucket



Darren tried to lift the boat...it wasn't as easy as it seems.....those people carry like its made of paper.....

managed to take a photo of monkey...the whole place is full of monkeys....

spectecular view,isn't it? The breeze sent in vapours from the waterfall, which was pretty soothing and relaxing in a warm day.....
Photobucket



Mistaken for a Korean, Chinese......Din't realise i look like Korean....which i noe i don't.....For god sake, I am a Malaysian la~~~~~
Photobucket

Fish market...apparently tis place is famous for its fishes too....




we were tempted to buy some fish, but none of us know how to choose fish.... -.-
Photobucket





Villagers here still do their daily activity by the river side....at some point i even doubt tat they have water supply.....




all their basic daily activity---cooking, washing clothes, bathing etc etc was done by the river...




can you even imagine how polluted it is???
Photobucket




I think i can oni find in the musuem in malaysia....

Cows, being a holy animal, are free to wander around the village....one particular cow even attack my fren when she took a photo of it....no worries....she left with a blue-black as a souvenir ....
Photobucket




Can't imagine how can he sleep in a place like this.....

Such a sweet photo....i wanna take a photo like tis with dear too.....
Photobucket



the whole was pretty satisfying....except the part that we were treated like some kind of exotic animals or alien or rare species or whatever la.....I am used to the starring, people in Salem town had always been starring us like they never seen chinese before....

But the super dulan part was when they randomly take photo of us....wherever we stand, there'll always be a bunch of camera surrounding us.....Like we're animals escaped from a circus....
There was this particular group of Indians who offered us 10rps ( about 70 sen) for a photo taken with them....WTF...what do you think we are????We do not scoop so low as to sell our photos for a mere 10 rps....And even if its at a higher price we will not do it....We still have out dignity and pride.....
Another guy walked in opposite direction of me, pretending to text....And when he came near, he held his phone high and i distinctly heard a " cickcak"....wtf.....feel so like snatching his phone and throw it in the water....

There is seriously sth wrong with the India's education system la....Pendidikan moral must be missing in their syallabus...

A perfect getaway

A perfect getaway



went to Pondycherry to spent the weekends....a small, peaceful, serene city located 5 hours away from Salem...populated by Indians and French (most of them choose here as a place of retirement)...
embrace yourself for a super long post..






reached around 7am...
head straight to the beach because most of the shops arent open...




unlike other beach, Pondy's beach is a rocky beach...





















me: wat's tis sign about??
Darren: after u done ur shopping, u must run around on the streets
all of us: *laugh*

and coz we have nothing better to do.....all the other shops are still closed!!!!




headed to the Bazaar after tis...
separated into 2 groups---rent bicycle gang and non-rent bicycle gang
me-----of coz non-rent bicycle gang la....i was terrified at the sight of traffic here....there's no way i am gonna cycle here....I rather walk!!!
and hence, our journey began...accompanied by Darren and Kelly....
after all the sweating and panting, we decided to have our lunch in ANANDHA INN as it is recommended by seniors...

Then, Darren's GPS come to the rescue~~~still had to walk a long way though....



Finally, after a long walk~~~we reached!!!! was famished by tat time.........
