India

A while ago I mentioned I would be travelling to India, and so here I am - this post comes to you from my Hotel room in Chennai, the third and last city on my visit.
What’s it like in India? - it’s madness! The chaos, the pollution and the poverty is something to behold. Golf is the furthest thing from my mind right now, as I’m sure it is for your average Indian citizen.
Just walking to the shop is like an assault course: kids begging for money, those that can’t stand grabbing at your legs as you walk past and everybody else trying to sell you all manner of things. All of this combined with the heat and the smog is a heady mix and your hotel becomes a welcome respite, away from the incessant horns of the traffic.
Each time you get into a taxi or a rickshaw, you take your life into your hands. There doesn’t appear to be any discernible rule of the roads and it’s every man for themselves. It’s all a long way away from the tranquility of the Golf Course and should make us all grateful and appreciative of what we have.
On the upside I got a haircut, head massage and shouder rub for 7 bucks!!! - ho hum
