American Family Back in Chennai: Emotional Old House Memories & Supermarket Shock! 🇮🇳

We're back in Chennai after 8 years, the city where our expat adventure began in 2015! Join the Bags Packed Family as we walk our old neighborhood, reminisce about starting overseas life, grab fresh juice, reconnect with our landlord at our former home, and reflect on the devastating 2015 floods at our very first house. We hit Neelankarai Beach for old memories (way too hot!), bump into an old friend at Tryst Cafe, and tour Nilgiri's supermarket, checking current prices on snacks, fruit, and essentials, some surprises here! Full of emotions, changes, and Chennai vibes.
