Cleanliness is Relative

I don't think I realized how much Kolkata has changed my view about what a dirty city really is until seeing Chennai. Walking around Chennai last night and this morning I felt like the city was amazingly clean. I mean, yeah there was still liter pretty much everywhere along the sides of the street, but there wasn't really that much. It wasn't like Kolkata where there are literally huge piles of trash just sitting all over the place on the sides of the street. Chennai would still be quite dirty by American standards, but for our team, it seemed almost clean enough to eat off of the street.
