Chennai, India

Chennai is the capital of the state of Tamil Nadu and is India's fourth largest metropolitan city. Popularly known as "Gateway to South India", it is well connected internationally and to other parts of India.

My instant opinion was that living there must be hell, and to be fair in the time I spent there my opinion didn't change; bad roads lack of hygiene, piles of rubbish and traffic that can only be described as complete chaos only went to prove this is no place to live.
