Impressions about Kerala People: India people have darker skin than I thought. The people I saw from India TV programs and outdoor commercial boards, they all have lighter skin color. I guess they prefer white skin like Chinese do. I think many India girls are very beautiful. They have huge eyes, long eye brows and very thick black hairs. Women all have colorful traditional dresses and many men wear dress too. They have long dress. When it’s too hot they roll it up and it becomes short dress. Food: The first day the driver took us to a vegetarian restaurant. Vegetarian is very common in India. I heard even in McDonald’s and Subway they have many vegetarian choices. That meal was awful to me. It made me fear India food. Luckily in the next days I also tried to have India food and I think they were good. Last night I have a nice dinner with very big pawns and fish. Indian food is good. I can’t read India menu, because I didn’t understand what it means. I love Chai very much. It is milk tea, which is also common in China but Chai is much better. It is made by natural materials. Btw, I saw beef on the menu. I think it’s a northern India thing that people can’t eat beef and cows are everywhere. Language: Most Indians speak a little English. They speak better English than Chinese do. They have very strong accent. I think the way Indians speak English is just like I speak Italian. They have both Indian and English commercials on TV. The local people in Kerala don’t speak Hindu, but Malayalam. Train: I did take bus and train in India. It was fun. The problem is you must be careful when you should get off. The train trip is very weird. When I got into the train station, nobody asked me for my ticket. The station is totally open. The travel agent man told me they cannot book train ticket and I just need to go to the station 15 minutes before the leaving time. I could not find the time of the train and the seat number on the ticket. It was sleeper train but I found many Indians just sitting at the lower seat. There is no AC on the train but lots of fans. The amazing thing is that they don’t close the door! I can stand at the door and enjoy the wind! At last nobody checked my ticket. Kerala is the world of coconuts and crows. Thousands of crows make noisy everywhere, also many egrets and hawks. I also saw some goats hanging out on the street. They looked very happy. I could feel the harmony between animals and human being. I bet if it is in China people would eat crows.
