Observations

Observations about Kerala.

1. Indian people shake their head when talking and for the 1st week I couldn't understand why they were agreeing with me and disagreeing with me.

2. They honk the horn incessantly.

3. My life flashes before my eyes everytime I'm crossing a road or in a rickshaw. It's very normal to pass anywhere, on either side of the road.

4. They have a pizza joint but on their pizzas you have hot chillis, paneer and tandoori spices. And it's very good.

5. Women are really, really respected here. But apparently foreigners are fair game to harass because we are slutty.

6. Their "aquarium show" is like my pet store. Also the biggest stall at the aquarium was selling deep fried fish to snack on, interesting.

7. They feed crows a meal a year because they believe it's their ancestors returning to them.

8. Crows, neighbours dogs and cats wake me every morning.

9. They get very uncomfortable when people ask, "where are all the cobras?"

10. My yoga master/ philosophy teacher rides a unicorn motorcycle and loves jingle bells. He actually recorded me singing it so he could practice it later. He threatens me by asking, "Do you know Silent Night?"
