Riding the Toy Train

We left Cochin and prepared for our longest drive of the trip. We were leaving Kerala and going back to Tamil Nadu for one night. After that, the next destination would be in Karnataka, the final state of our South Indian vacation. As we started the six hour drive, we began to hit morning traffic, and it soon began to start raining, meaning the trip would take even longer than planned to get to the town of Ooty. On the drive, we passed by a lot of trucks and many had names that described what...

Take me to the Savoy

Winding our way up the Kerala coast, we find ourself in Kannur. Pile off the train, me and Rich have a wee scout about to get a hotel. Near the station, fairly central and cheap (about 1.50gbp each per night)job is a good 'un. After about 30 minutes Dan comes racing in to the room - "There's a big f*ck off cockroach in our room" We went and had a look and I have to say that, whilst not being the most flowery and elegant of descriptions, it was pretty bloody accurate. Shame that the beast just...

OOty & Nilgiri Hills

So we've travelled some mountain roads in our time but wow. Two things - I didn't realise you got 'mountains' in S India - we're 2200 metres up here and those mottos all over Indian roads 'Do Not overtake on curves ' do not work. That 2000 metres go almost spectacularly straight up and if you catch a local bus or a lorry you pass it wherever; the culture seems to be the guy coming the other way shrugs and gives way or you just stop/reverse. It only seems to work because everyone goes quite sl...

Third Culture Shock

... sense of belonging is in relationship to others of a similar background." <br><br>I am a TCK. My mother was living and working in Zambia when she met my father, and I was raised there until the age of seven when we moved permanently to Canada. The realization came with a chuckle, and my hosts nodding their heads as I described my own experience. &#8220;And your choice to live outside your native country is classic TCK behaviour,&#8221; said John approvingly. I didn&#8217;t know that I ...

... students also took issue with the fact that they were not allowed laptops or iPods, and that data storage devices had to be checked and approved by the computer teacher. There was also a list of banned music and movies, everything from Britney Spears to 50-Cent. &#8220;Every year we raise these issues,&#8221; said one student, the editor of the school newspaper, Zenith. &#8220;Every year we get somewhere but not as far as we&#8217;d like.&#8221; <br><br>I asked them about their imminent ...

I was armed with a fresh notebook, a sharpened pencil and excitement at the prospect of not only getting out of Bangalore but also seeing the hills of Tamil Nadu. <br><br>We&#8217;d come almost 300 kilometers to get to the Nilgris ...

The long and winding road

... wet is never a problem if you can get warm and dry and comfortable shortly afterwards, but going back to our room only exagerrated our woes. We both sat huddled over an electric two bar heater with wet toes, soggy limbs and damp spirits. It was at that point our planned two nights in the mountains was to become one.<br><br>Sleep came and went in short bursts throughout the night. The room next door was playing host to a group of young men ...

Ooty and aboot....

Ooty is another hillstation, 2100m above sea leffel.  It was quite cool and rainy.  The locals seem to make enough money to have a comfortable life and they are really friendly and helpful yet withoot being intrusive or rude...which i loved. It's incredible how much power and energy a smile can extrude. So i mooched around the town one afternoon, through a local market, true to any other market selllng fruits, veg, meat (deal or alive), household stuff, flowers...etc. I was happy ...
