This is a slum near where I was born. People go there for divine saarayam (the tonic of life ). Ah, see the eager crowd of local Chennai laborers waiting to take a sip. Without saarayam, life in Chennai stops. Up to 35000 bottles are sold in 1 week . Fun memories from living in India.

I would seriously question that.

In Spain they are about 30 years behind us. They had shrines of mary everywhere it was so random, like you'd just be driving and see a mary statue, we don't even have that on the island of Ireland. Then they close all shops at lunch time (which is so inconveniant), close shops on Sunday and do not open them. Buildings are awful.

When we arrived my mum said "watch your bags, I think people are watching us"

There were loads of black people and beggars. They had stalls with people trying to sell us cheap grappy guess bags. Like honestly do they think we are that thick? We actually have Guess stuff in this country for real and we know when they are doing counterfit.

Their country roads were like rubble.
