Most likely drug.

I don't think so because he down to villa, got married and took his wife back to India. If he's into drug, do you think he's gonna take such risk

Have you tried their biryani?

igbesachick:
yes, kerala

Interestingly, the Malayalis are very friendly outside India. Maybe the educated ones though, since those are the ones I have related with.

I like the Biryani too. Anytime I visit an area with a large population of India. I do not dull myself. if I can't sit down to eat, I would buy it as take away.

Interesting pics.

However, you jumped right back to food photos after showing the toilet and mentioning left hand.

Was that intentional?

Also, @ op, are you Nigerian (black)?

Why did you intentionally do a low budget road trip? Eg taking public transportation, etc. Just wondering.

butter milk, with a strong curry smell.

i regreted to buy one, but very cheap, 25 rupee, 120 naira.

very nauseating taste, unless you are an indian.

it had many other bag dressings, which tricked me to buy it again and again.

Buttermilk isnt sweet, the name isn't like the product. I learnt that when I tried it.

i m not that particular with the food, so, i dont notice any, i just eat what comes by.

It's hard to go wrong with rice anywhere. Always a safer choice.

that is a "genre" of travel, like some hiking from johnesburg to cairo. but my energy will never allow me to do that . so i do small scale adventure. but i will not go to india anymore, it is way too adventurous even by its normal standard.

i complained the air condition too cold, and there was no remote control. an indian hotel guy came to my room, he used his CELLPHONE , with the app in it , to adjust the temperature.

very high-tech.

third day, from visakhapatanum to nellore. nellore is a city never introduced by any travel guide book. a peep at real india.

663km , 200ruper, 1000naira.

the morning time in visakhapatnum, before started today's journey, there is an indian temple at the roadside, in front of the hotel . yesterday was in a rush, i forgot to take a notice of it. and in the early morning, the intoning prayers and the mesmeric bell tolling were epiphanic.

before hopped on the train, i detoured to a nearby indian ocean beach . a mass dumpsite was what i saw at the first.

indian ocean, not as gorgeous as atlantic ocean. i prefer the roaring wave of the latter.

good place for indian people to do morning stride and calisthenics.

at 10am, i boarded a train, they looked very shabby indeed. there was said only one bullet train line was under construction, the others remained like this.

chicken rice , a low version of biryani, served by the railway uniformed vendors. around 75 rupee, 375 naira.

not tasty, but better than none.

infomation board , more than 100 trains at a small size hub. impressive. very hectic.

popcorn, 10rupee, 50naira.

said to be the largest lake of india, a lagoon. forget its name. an indian student very proud of it, and tried to pour infomation on me. i even tried to visit a detour sight strongly recommened by him before my planned destination, but it was too hot, i had to return to the train station, and luckily my ticket still valid for the next train bound to the same direction.

railway station stall.

ticket office

led board for information

my ticket did not facilitate me with a direct train, i needed a transfer. i was totally confused. i even thought the girl who sat beside me and helpfully checked my ticket was joking with me.

this guy , coming from nowhere, voluntarily led me to transfer , he went the same way.

platform flyover

atlas and newspaper, that atlas was very good, with many details

a middle size town with quite a large station , 10 platforms! it is not even a provincial capital

late in the evening, arrived in nellore. beyond the tourism route, no introduction in my travel guide book lonely planet. i was a bit panicked. i had to walk 20 munites from the outskirt to the town center, through some empty and lone streets .

woman selling jasmine. fragrant. wear like a garland.

night street scene

local food, eat it with fingers, a little bit insufficient. 30rupee, 150naira
