My similar experience with chennai

I am from AP. I stayed in Chennai for 3 months back in 2022. I did not know Tamil, but can understand Tamil to a very lil extent and learnt a few words in 'Tamizh' by a week.

Whenever I try to communicate with someone and they don't understand english (I can usually understand what they are saying), I try to explain with the few Telugu and Tamil mixed words(Many ppl really get it).

I'll ask someone nearby to translate. I've never come across someone getting annoyed or impatient with me for this. So sweet of you people 🫶

Everyone is very sweet and welcoming. The traffic police are very respectful and never cause unnecessary issues as long as I have all the necessary documents. Even they stopped me at late night hours like around 2 Am and check whether I am drunk or not and leave me without any hassle.

Only thing I got scammed was by my airbnb owner that she said she ll give back the deposit but never got those money back!!

Ps: A guy from chennai posted a similiar post with his experience in r/hyderabad .So I thought to share my experiences with chennai .

More and more love to you people 🫶
