After Mysore I left the state of Karnataka and I went to Kerala. My first stop was Fort Cochi. Fost Cochi is the most ancient spice Harbour in India. Even before the arrival of Portuguese around ~1400 ad was an established trading harbour where Chinese trade with the Indians. Marco Polo put his first foot on India here! The multicultural influence is everywhere. Chinese Fishing Nets, Portuguese Churches, Synagogues, mosques, Katakalli theater (similar to chinese theater with male actors only).
Kerala is a communist area and you can see this everywhere. Doctor cost only 1 Rs!! And civilians organize themselves to provide services in the city. Kerala is an example for the north indian states where the economic growth follows American-English model ... more money for high medium classes that have to pay for their services ... Push Up Che Guevara!!!

Hola Marco,
Veo que no has alimentado el blog desde nuestro encuentro en Fort Kochin y luego en Varkala. Imagino que visitaste el sur y que ahora debes estar en Chenai o algo así. Nos interesaría ir sabiendo de tus aventuras y hacer el recorrido virtual contigo. Nosotras todas bien, un poco sobreimpresionadas con la llegada y el choque de energías entre oriente y occidente. Bueno pero no es preocupante, cuando vemos que se nos oscurece la mirada, nos refugiamos en las fotos y recuerdos del viaje. Un gusto conocerte. Estamos en contacto. Hasta pronto. Lucía (Barcelona)
