Sitting in Canada now and watching this video. That Vijaya tea stall was our tea hub during college days and behind woodlands theater was my house. My City, My streets.. having tears in my eyes 😭. Hope to see my Chennai soon.
I am an American Tamil, but I live in Sweden(I honestly don't know why). I came to Coimbatore once during my childhood, I loved it so much. I wanna settle in conoor one day.
There’s UK owned stores that don’t even exist in the uk there. Looks a cool mall, interesting to see the modern side. Thanks for rebelling and recording for us!
Brought back memories … when I used to live in Chennai from 2013 to 2017 …. Best days of my life … would move to Basant nagar beach if I had the money now ….
It's absolutely true , we will never get bored in India. There will be something which u keep busy always... Missing India extremely.... waiting for a vacation to head back to Chennai sooner ...
Thanks for showing us Chennai. I enjoy being with you on your journey to all these new places. The length of this video is ok. It was only 39 minutes. Be well and stay safe.🙏
The content is sweet and spicy just like you 😄..Chennai is seen as more advanced than Kolkata, seem both share similar culture and have their own uniqueness which is very interesting. The most irresistible thing here is when you try the food, you really enjoy it. Your comment about the food makes someone here feel hungry and appetizing😄.. anyway have fun, enjoy life and take care!
@@FoodievenkySeems like you are living in your own bubble. Both tea and chai come from Chinese and not from English and Hindi respectively. We are used to the word Tea as we Tamils and malayalees imported tea from China via sea route unlike the rest of the India.
Hi Solomon!! A very easy going tour of yours, very enjoyable video!! BTW I live near the place you started in this trip. Hope you stay in Chennai and catch up with lot of mesmerizing places here. Best wishes for you to have happy and safe trip.
Chennai's vibe is incredible! I love how this vlog captures both the modern and traditional aspects of the city. Who else is amazed by the variety of food options in the mall?
Chennai is a city which produces 3 cars every minute so having a mall is no big deal. There was a Malayalam film called Helen from Kerala and it was shot in a mall in Muvattupuzha, a small town in Kerala. In the film the girl Helen gets stuck in the cold storage of a QSR joint in the mall. Also these days Indian cinema is excellent. There is a Hindi film called Gulmohar with Sharmila Tagore and the film was better than The Whale and Sharmila Tagore's acting was on par with Brendan Fraser. Then there is a Telugu movie called Awe which is almost like Everything Everywhere All at Once. Even Tamil cinema is excellent these days. My 5 favorite Tamil films are the following: 1) Aruvi 2) Super Deluxe 3) Gargi 4) Vikram Vedha 5) 96
12:30 royapettah clock tower. You are at cross roads. Pycrofts road in the right, Woods road in front of you West Cott road behind you White's road to your left. Named after British officials during pre independent era 😄
No need to compare Chennai or Tamilnadu with any country or city. We are the most urbanized state of India. One of the top business hub in the world. Need to learn lot man.
❤Chennai, such a beautiful city with full of culture and tradition to see and so many history associated with the tourism places 🖊️love the South Indian meals and breakfast 🔭 love from Odisha
@@israr144 That's not how it goes. I studied in Kerala for 12 years though I am a Malaysian but Hindi is taught in schools in Kerala just like any other state in India. I learned Hindi but i can't speak it either. in Tamil Naadu it isn't. There are historical reasons behind it..The anti-Hindi agitation of the 1960s. Nor do you find road-signs etc in Tamil Naadu in Hindi unlike other parts of India. Google and see why.
@@saeffareez3337 I wonder who would even want to take the effort to teach you a language for free to someone who thinks "not knowing a language" is something to boast about? Racism has many faces.
That's where I working now at the H&M the whole thing you showed is very satisfying even I work there I don't have any time to explore so it's kinda intresting
Bollywood is not the only film industry, there's other huge film industry for different languages and Tamilnadu has kollywood. It's always a myth that India has only Bollywood 😂
I hope someday you get to visit a mall in your country. I think you are surprised as you haven't seen a mall before 😢. Underprivileged people like you also deserve some luxury.
Did you believe in the fictionalised version of Flying Carpets and Dancing Snakes. Yep the Brits did one good thing started the modernisation of Village India. These Malls are about 10 or 15 years old!
By the way, the PVR Escape cinema which you have seen in this mall is one of the coolest cinemas in the world! Not only does each of the eight theatres come with its own name and themes, but it also has really cool facilities*, such as Play (gaming area with a TV connected to a gaming console), Click (a free internet cafe consisting of 6 iMacs), Flip (a library), Bliss (a spa), Dine (a bar-styled restaurant-like area) and the cinema aims to give you the vibes of a 5-star hotel (or a bar)! *Last time I had a visit there they had those cool facilities. I don't know if they still do have these facilities, you can research and ask anyone who've visited Escape recently in 2024!
in chennai they call it DOSA, in malaysia they call it THOSAI, because DOSA in malay means SIN. kinda funny but true. im also super suprised they have a papa roti cafe there in chennai, and here I thought papa roti was a local msian restaurant chain. looks like theyve gone global now.
TN is filter coffee zone. ❤ Idli saambaar , molaga podi followed by strong filter coffee. ❤❤. Chai/tea is just an add on. The best chai is in mumbai called..( 3 no.) and assam . Shankar vilas hindu hotel chain. Great 👍 💯 taste.
@@TravelingSoloLogsYou could see the oldest mall in the world - rebuilt in the late 1990's - the Spencers plaza. The original Spencers existed from early 20th century. The latest malls in Chennai will be there on OMR area and in the outer areas of the city. Talking of malls u may want to visit the Forum Mall in Vadapalani and the phoenix Mall in Velachery. They are both nice malls to visit
We need to do more on Swatch Bharat. Build more toilets for men near auto stands. Pay Rs.2 and use. So that water and cleaning can be arranged twice , thrice a day.
When you are travelling to another country please respect the rules..In USA if security says don't use camera u accept that, so do that in our country as well
@@TravelingSoloLogs it is simple, every country has rules and it needs to be followed, what I meant was, if the same was done in USA you could have faced fine or punishment..
@@TravelingSoloLogsthe Tamil word is thae neer but nobody uses that word, instead everybody says the English word “ tea “ itself. Best part is I am not a Tamilian but a Keralite. There are officially about 22 languages for the different states of India. Each state tends to get passionate about their own language and culture and gets wary of Hindi imposition in the country. This video is very nice and I felt that if this rather sensitive issue ( unknown to most foreigners ) is made known to you, it will be of help.
@@TravelingSoloLogs one last addition… in Kerala, Chaya is the word for tea, which I myself didn’t know, I Googled to find out! Sometimes we Indians ourselves are confused by our diversity! (Tamil word sounds “They/Thae Neer”)
Nice video man. But, you need to do some research about the places you visit man. You don't speak Hindi in Tamil Nadu, you speak Tamil. And down south people don't care about Bollywood, its other languages industry. I leave it to you to do your own research about that. Also, its not Tuk Tuk. Its called Auto.

I visited in Kochi and it was nothing special. Regular with bigger shops and joints. Thats all!
i stayed in chennai for 5 years and this used to be my fav mall...missing that living in england

Dosa is standard word used all over India but here in Chennai and Tamil Nadu, local restaurants call it as Thosai only😊
In sanskrit language Dosh mean Defect and Dhosa mean that food item
@@Shubham_kadu Dhosam in Tamil also means something bad or sin..
Tamil word for dosa is Dhosai or Thosai
Not sure where you are from but we have at least couple of Skechers outlet in DFW area.

In chennai or TN we have kollywood(tamil cinema) that is unique and cant compare with hollywood or bollywood
Shah Rukh is just another actor.. Even though he is a Super Star...... He too got famous because of South Indian Movies Remakes.....
Nice
All bollywood stars if famous it is because they copy south Indian movies..ost of them r not good actors.
in South India coffee is more popular than tea
Nice, I didn't know that
