Shouldn't let the food goes into waste. By the way, did you find any roti canai in India? Is their common food is chapati and paratha? Can't wait to visit there one day. Good one Pelf.

The rickshaw driver offered to take us around for Rs 100, we agreed and boarded his rickshaw and he took us to places for more than 6 hours. When we arrived at our hotel, we decided to give him a little tip, so we paid him Rs 150 instead. And I still think that Rs 150 is quite little to pay a driver who takes you around for 6 hours because in Malaysia, we pay RM 25 (about Rs 375) for a 15 min drive from the bus station back home. And yes, I am aware of the commission part of the "deal" between rickshaw drivers and business owners, and I will share this in my next post :D I did not say that Rs 300 for 6 hours was too much.

You said that u have 300rs for 6 hours of auto rickshaw drive in fort cochin is little heavy.. I don’t think so because we give the same price that u gave for a ride.. There r two types of drivers in fort Cochin. One of them are for foreigners and other for common people. While u go with auto drivers who charge very less they may take u to some shops where they get commission for that. For each of your visit they get 200 or 150 rs. If u purchases some items from there the driver will get a percentage of Purchase as commission. This has been ruining the life of common auto drivers.

Food was either too much or spicy or too oily or had a weird taste to it or had too much vegetables in it, LOL. But it was a good experience, plus, we usually finish our food because we didn't want them to go to waste. Yeah, I have to admit that we did not really enjoy most of our meals.

If you going Hyderabad, I recommend you to have their Briyani over there :p North India food is more ‘ngam’ to our taste compare to the South.
