Tamil is the main language spoken here. Puducherry is in a state called Tamil Nadu, so that was what was mainly spoken there.
The main type of currency throughout India is the rupee.
A bottle of water costs 20 rupees or about $0.30.
My best meal this weak has got to be the vegetable soup at Surguru Restaurant in Puducherry. I went to this restaurant the most during my visit. It was right behind our homestay. They specialize in South Indian dishes. I was getting very sick towards the end of my trip, so that comforting soup really helped me get through the rest of the day.
I listen to a ton of music during long commutes. Off the top of my head, I remember listening to Paradise of Dreams from the Kirby video games several times during the bus ride home from Puducherry. I also heard an Indian cover of Lauryn Hill's "Killing Me Softly." I heard this song on an Indian singing competition. The contestants have to sing in English.
