Hey Kashi - interesting Chinese fishing nets! I also would like to learn the Kathakali dance! Norman :)
Cochin looks fascinating-the Malabar Coast has such a rich history- I would love to see the Old Synagogue.Amazing that there is still a Jewish population here (dwindling).The Dancing is quite unique, it seems. Great tips- lovely pics as usual!
Great info on these entries. Thanks for sharing
