I RECENTLY VISITED MADURAI WITH MY PARENTS AND LET ME TELL YOU THE EXPERIENCE WAS AWFUL. DUE TO THE HOT CLIMATE WE NEEDED TO PURCHASE BISLERY WATER FROM THE NEARBY SHOP AND THE SHOPKEEPER CHARGED US RS 50 FOR THE BOTTLE MARKED RS 35 AS MRP. THIS WASN’T A RANDOM EXPERIENCE. ALL THE SHOPS ONE VISITS THEY CHARGE ABOVE MRP AND WHEN WE QUESTION THEM ABOUT IT THEIR RESPONSE IS THAT IN MADURAI THEY ALWAYS CHARGE ABOVE MRP. NOT ONLY FOR WATER BUT FOR AERATED DRINKS AS WELL. THE FOOD SERVED AT MOST HOTELS ARE BLAND. THEY COULD AT LEAST SERVE GOOD TASTY FOOD FOR THE AMOUNT THEY CHARGE. THIS TRIP HAS MADE US NOT WANT TO VISIT MADURAI ANY TIME SOON OR EVER.
