The daytrip to se the tempels in... - <p>The daytrip to se the tempels in Kanchipuram was very interesting and we had good oportunities to take photos. A visit to the silk market was also included in the trip but we were not aware of this. After having visited a family who made saris we were taken to a shop were we were expected to do some shopping. This situation wasnt comfortable for us. We ended the day with a tastey vegeterian indian meal before hedding back to Chenai.</p>
