Our flight landed safely at the Chennai International Airport at 2210. It was the beginning of an exciting experience for us and we are looking forward to the wonderful days ahead.

After an exciting 45 minute bus ride, we have arrived at The Residency. Students are tired and after being issued their respective rooms, they have succumbed by exhaustion and went into their slumber. With a new adventure about to unfold to us the next day.

Morning started off with a huge breakfast after which we made our way to the bus to pay a visit to Velammal International School. We were greeted by the staff of the school who gave us an introduction to the school's background and history.

We were given the opportunity to experience their morning assembly. It was an interesting event as it was very well planned and organised. We saw students showcasing their talents and skills, they were especially impressive in the area of their Yoga demonstration. It consisted of three very young boys who were able to perform amazing acts that enthralled us. Soon after we were assigned our partners from the school who gave us a tour around the school compound and we interacted with each other, learning more about each other's background and lifestyle. It was an enriching program as we were able to experience many new things that we would never have encountered in Singapore.

After our visit we made our way to the Bay of Bengal while on a city tour. We saw historical places of interest and we were intrigued by the long history which dates back to the year AD 52.We walked along the second longest beach in Asia. After which we treated to a scrumptious buffet meal at a 5-star hotel. The food was titillating and we were mesmerized by the vast selection of main courses and dessert.
