After endless hours of travel finally I reached my destination, Hello Chennai!

The first stop was Rio de Janeiro from there straight to Dubai, there luckily I met many players waiting for the same flight as me. After passing through the “smoking area” we went with Miguel Villas Boas who came from San Pablo and Diego Brenner and Luc Soudan arriving from Barcelona to make time with a beer.
Finally at 8:05 am we arrived in Chennai and my first impressions were different to the idea that I had from the country; not to mention the hotel is spectacular. Here everything is ready for the big annual event organized by the WBF.
