sweat like I'm just I'm it's so hot I'm a wreck today can you take us to Chennai Lighthouse what
house yeah yeah how much 100 rupees yeah that's good thank you thank you so much
doesn't happen very often honestly to be honest with you I think it's never about
the money people say oh you're cheap and you can't afford it well I I can't afford
it treating someone differently based on how they look or where they're from which is gross
people don't do that like to sort of behave the people like reinforce that's cool and it makes
the city so much more welcoming to come to as a traveling oh whoa okay yeah that's the lighthouse
oh um oh sir
oh no no no no that's for you for honest price
you gave us a good price thank you so much thank you for that
no negotiation nothing he was honest we really appreciate honesty that's what it
is story for this Lighthouse let me look it up okay Michael's gonna look up the
story but I feel like Snooki from Jersey Shore where she's like where's the beach
thank you do you want to be in mine is that okay yeah
I'm a bit sweaty today it's a bit hot it's really hot okay so don't get me wrong I've met lovely
people all throughout India but the people in the South oh they've just been so amazing like let's
pay to ride the horses and pretend that we don't know it's a scam and then put it on YouTube every
every male solo vlogger ever has done the same scam antenna right over here no I think it's in
um Pakistan or Sri Lanka or something so much sand until you get to the water feels like I
have to run a marathon to get to the actual order puppy where right there who's a puppy
foreign you got like a little fairy place over there with some stalls and I think you said you
saw some ice cream or something right I saw ice blocks which for me is fast period of ice cream
it doesn't really seem very much but all these back here I like all different colors and they're
straight out on them yeah so definitely an effort to make it look a little aesthetic along here yeah
it's like yeah there's still a bit of rubbish but you know it is what
it is it's actually not that bad to be honest there's a couple of horse
men down there policemen with horses and they're obviously just like cooling them
off a bit it's pretty cool I don't know if you can see my camera doesn't Zoom that much
can I show you yes you can it's a bit hard to to spell if you wanna oh yeah
thank you subscribing stage you want to be on it
what was your name my name is Josie Josie what's your name Michael Michael I ordered this
um looks like ice there's like mojito I got the blue karako one and hopefully
it's really refreshing but it's put lots of ice in it and Michael got an ice block
but I don't know what like goalie and fulja is
how much is it 40. for the blue caracal as well so is it 40 for the two
my blue caracal oh and the ice cream but I want my drink ah
this one
oh it's a flavor okay all right thank you okay so we chose the flavor not the
actual drip right I think I get it now a blue curacao what I thought was a drink
because there's pictures of drinks and then Michael wanted the ice block and he said 40
I said how much for two said 40 and then he just gave us this right I don't really
like the flavor but they're refreshing though yeah it's nice it's just ice yeah
yeah hi hello hi on a hot day anyone with the lighthouse behind you as well it's beautiful
nice yeah what's going on here I don't know beautiful puppy so since I wanted
a a drink I'm gonna head out and find another drink if not I want maybe another ice block
I know most first stay in the North or up in at least in central is what I'm trying
to say like with the Golden Triangle so it's really cool to be able to experience things
