Kochin (Kerala), India - December 31st, 2006

Since today is the last day of the year, I decided to travel to Kochin because I wanted to be by the beach to welcome the New Year. I stayed in Kochin mainland, Ernakulam.
Kochin consists of 4 islands, Fort Kochin, and Mattancherry, and they are all linkied by ferries and bridges.
I went to see a Kathakali performance in the evening, which is based on the Hindu epics of Ramayana. They used to take place in the temples. The first hour we watched the characters put on their make up, and after that was the performance dance. Christina, the Italina girl I met there, asked me to call her if I wanted to do something for the New Year's eve celebration, but instead I went to bed...and woke up to the New Year 2007!!
