Typical South Indian breakfast served in a pure vegetarian restaurant in Fort Kochi.
Long rice crepe is called Masala Dosa. it is served with Sanbal soup and coconut chutney. Dosa is very thin, and not that heavy as it looks. Vegetarian tradition in South India is very firm even in Fort Kochi.

Tree worship is an element of Hinduism, which may or may not be reflected in the treatment of trees in the Christmas celebration in Fort Kochi

Kochi Castle is one of the twelve castles in Japan whose keeps have survived from before the Edo period. It
is the only castle that retains the form of a main palace connected to the keep, making it a valuable historical site.
Furthermore, the view from the keep and the breeze of southern Tosa that blows through it make it a fascinating castle that evokes a sense of historical romance from the Edo period to the present day.

A sunset picture from the harbor in Kochi. You can see the ever present Chinese fishing nets and a few people at play while a bird sails by. The area was really quite crowded with people waiting for the sunset, but I managed to find a rather quiet spot. I loved the color of the sky. It seems almost green in color. Maybe I almost saw the ever elusive green flash.
Kochi (auch als Cochin bekannt) ist eine Stadt des indischen Bundesstaates Kerala im Südwesten des Landes. Der Hafen existiert seit 1341, als eine Flut das Hafenbecken der Stadt aushöhlte und es damit für arabische, chinesische und europäische Händler öffnete. Die Sehenswürdigkeiten wie das Fort Kochi spiegeln diese Einflüsse wider. Es handelt sich um eine Siedlung mit kolonialen einstöckigen Ziegelhäusern und verschiedenen Andachtsgebäuden. Ausladende chinesische Fischernetze sind für Kochi typisch und werden bereits seit Jahrhunderten genutzt.
