JEW TOWN IN KOCHI I INDIA
We just finished our first year of traveling! Check out our highlights from this adventure: One Year Of Traveling In 2 Minutes I Travel Cinematic Video
--~--
We made to Kochi/Cochin in India. First expression of this town - amazing! It remind us little bit Pondicherry. We explore Jew town in Kochi and we wanted to show you around. You can see what to do in Kochi in Jew Town - synagogue, spice market etc. We didn't realize during the day that we didn't film that much and we could definitely do better.
We're sorry but tomorrow we will not upload new video because we're taking night bus to new destination so we will be out of Wi-fi. After tomorrow uploading will be daily again. Yeeey!

They Sell Tea to Travel the World
Today in Kochi, I came across a regular tea shop to get some Indian chai (my favorite drink here!)
The tea shop, Sree Balaji, is owned by a lovely couple in 70s -- Vijayan and Mohana. After speaking with them for about 30 minutes, I was in awe by their inspiring life story.
Vijayan and his wife both shared a common dream to travel the world, but money was always an issue. So 55 years ago, Vijayan took up selling tea on the streets of Kochi.
They saved 300 Rupees ($4.20) every day for decades, and they used this income (together with bank loans) to fund travels to 23 countries! From Switzerland to Brazil to the USA, and they don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
Vijayan and Mohana are a perfect couple who is living the happiest life that anyone can live. I am so happy that I dropped by their tea shop today, and I wish them the best of luck in their future travels!

P.S. If you come to Kochi, they would really appreciate any support to help them fulfill their upcoming travels. Their shop is located off Katrikadavu Road. Thanks!

바닷가에 커다란 어망들이 줄지어 늘어서 장관을 이룬다. 바로 중국식 어망이다. 중국식 어망은 원나라 황제 쿠빌라이 칸 시절에 전해진 중국 광둥성의 전통어획법이다. 거대한 뜰채 모양의 큰 그물을 나무에 매달아 바다에 담갔다가 다시 끌어 올리는 식으로 고기를 잡는다. 다소 미련스럽게 보이는 고기잡이 방식이지만 어획량은 제법 쏠쏠하다. 이놈은 생김새가 특이하다. 이름이 헬리콥터 피쉬다. 사람들이 해변을 떠나지 못하고 서성인다. 뭘 기다리는 걸까? 석양이다. 중국식 어망과 아라비아 해의 붉은 노을이 한 폭의 그림이다.

They form a large fishing net on the beach ministers lined up lined up. Is the Chinese fishing nets. Chinese fishing nets are the traditional law of China Guangdong Province Yuan Emperor Kublai Khan handed down the days. Nets hung a large net of a huge tree-shaped dip in the sea to catch the fish again pulled up way. Carefully look rather foolish way, but fishing catches is quite ssolssol. This guy is a singular appearance. The name of this fish helicopter. Indah lingered people not to leave the beach. What Am waiting for? The setting sun. The red glow of the Chinese fishing nets and the Arabian Sea is a picture of the width.

네 시간 차를 달려 마지막으로 도착한 곳은 코친이다. 오래전부터 향신료 무역으로 번성한 도시. 코친은 지금도 케랄라주의 경제중심지다. 그런데 구도심 한가운데 유대인 마을이 있었다. 향신료 거래를 하며 한 때 500여 가구가 살았는데 이스라엘 건국 후 대부분 귀국했다고 한다. 아직도 이곳에 살고 있는 할머니가 있다고 해 찾아가 보았다. 아흔여섯 살의 사라 할머니. 할머니는 기력이 쇠해 제대로 말을 잇지 못했다. 1982년 남편과 함께 이곳으로 이주해 40년 가까이 살았으니 코친은 제2의 고향인 셈이다. 남편과는 사별하고 이제는 방문객을 맞으며 여생을 보내고 있다. 유대인들의 이주 역사는 2000년이 넘었다고 한다. 450여 년 전 세워진 시너고그에서는 지금도 예배를 본다고 한다. “코친은 정말 놀라운 곳이에요. 사람들도 좋고 정말 즐거운 여행입니다.” “유대인과 연관되신 게 있나요?” “제 남편이요.” “유대인이세요?” “네.” “남다르시겠네요?” “여긴 정말 좋아요. 정말 좋습니다.” 유대인 마을 곁에 향신료 거리가 있다. 지금도 향신료 거래를 하는 창고와 가게들이 밀집돼 있다. 중세 중후반기에는 아랍 상인과 중국 상인들이 코친을 많이 찾았다. 중국식 어망은 그때 전래된 것이라고 한다. 무거운 돌을 매단 줄을 잡아당겨 거대한 뜰채 모양의 어망을 들어 올려서 고기를 잡는 방법이다. 원래 중국 광둥성에서 쓰던 방법인데 쿠빌라이 칸 시대 때 중국 무역상들이 들여왔다고 한다. “700년 전 기술이 들어가 있어요. 5~6개월 동안 준비해야 합니다. 하루에 200~300번 위아래로 잡아당기는 아주 힘든 일입니다. 제 손의 굳은살을 보세요.” 손바닥의 굳은살이 그의 고된 일상을 말해준다. 중국식 어망은 그 거대한 덩치에 비해 어획량은 그다지 시원찮다고 한다. 요즘은 관광상품화 된 느낌이었다. 중국식 어망은 코친의 명물이 되었다. 특히 이곳은 노을을 볼 수 있는 곳으로도 유명해 관광객들의 발길이 잦다.

The last time I arrived at my car for four hours was Cochin. A city that has flourished as a spice trade for a long time. Cochin is still the economic center of Kerala. But there was a Jewish village in the middle of old town. Spice trade, and once about 500 households lived, most of them came back after the founding of Israel. I still have a grandmother who lives here. Sara's ninety-six-year-old grandmother. My grandmother lost her energy and could not speak properly. I moved here with my husband in 1982 and lived close to 40 years, so Cochin is my second hometown. I have lived with my husband for a long time. The Jewish migration history has been over 2000 years. It is said that it still worship in Sinargog which was built 450 years ago. Cochin is a remarkable place. It's a great trip and a really nice trip. Is there anything related to the Jews? My husband. Are you Jews? Yes. Would you like to stay? It is really good. There is a spice street near the Jewish village. Still, warehouses and shops that deal with spices are concentrated. Arab traders and Chinese traders found many Cochin during the middle to late the Middle Ages. The Chinese fishing net is said to have been introduced at that time. It is a way to grab a fish by lifting a giant oval-shaped fishing net by pulling a heavy stone on a string. It was originally used in China's Guangdong province, when Chinese traders were brought in during the Kublai Khan era. I have technology 700 years ago. You should be ready for 5 to 6 months. It is very difficult to pull it up and down 200 to 300 times a day. Look at the flesh of my hand. The firmness of the palm tells of his hard life. Chinese fishing nets are said to be rather uncomfortable compared to their huge size. It was a sightseeing commercialization these days. Chinese fishing nets became a specialty of Cochin. Especially, this place is well known as a place where you can see the sunset.

우리나라가 겨울을 맞이하는 11월, 이곳은 여름 날씨다. 영어로는 코친, 인도에선 코치라고도 불리는 이곳에서 만난 첫 풍경은 그물을 당기는 어부들의 모습이다. 물속에 담가놓았던 그물을 끌어올리기만 하면 되는 이 어망은 따뜻한 이 곳 여건에 잘 맞는다. “이 배는 아주 오래 되었습니다. 중국 사람들이 처음 만들었지요. 그 이후 인도, 포르투칼 사람들이 사용했습니다. 배와 관련된 모든 것들은 포르투칼이름으로 불립니다.” 포르투갈, 네덜란드, 영국의 식민지를 거치며 남은 흔적들은, 이제 코친의 전통이 되어 있다. 사람들 얼굴엔 바쁜 기색이 없다. 얼마 되지 않은 양이지만 잡힌 만큼 만족하는 사람들. 아라비아해 앞바다에서 갓 잡아온 싱싱한 생선들을 고르면, 즉석요리까지 해준다는데 우리나라 어촌과도 비슷한 풍경이다.

The nets that are simply raise the net notatdeon soaked in warm water and a place well suited to the conditions. This ship is very old. It made the Chinese people for the first time. Since then, Indian, Portuguese people have used. All these things called by the Portuguese name associated with the ship. Portugal, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom will undergo the remaining traces of the colony, now there is a tradition of Cochin. Busy people do not have facial countenance.

Street Bartenders of India
Have you ever heard about the street bartenders of India?! Tonight around 9PM, while I was walking on the streets of Kochi in the Southern Indian state of Kerala, I heard extremely loud banging sounds. It sounded like people were banging glass on an aluminum plate.
And that's exactly what was happening.
I turned the corner to see about a dozen street bartenders, all between 16-25 years old, making drinks on the street. The beverages are not alcoholic, mostly juices and shakes, but their bartending skills were SO DAMN IMPRESSIVE that I couldn't not share it with you.
India is one of the coolest, most vibrant places I've ever been. I'm completely overwhelmed, in a good way. Every place I look there is something interesting to see. Something to smell or eat. Thousands of things, everywhere!
What's your favorite thing about India?

Ride of Pi - Puducherry to Kochi
The twin states of southern India - Tamil Nadu and Kerala are beauty personified. Both are known to be blessed with rich culture and pristine nature. And this is what finds them a special space in every tourists’ travel diary.
South India Full Day 3 - Mamallapuram monuments & Pondicherry
Jeff’s birthday at Mamallapuram monuments site-Shore Temple, Five Rathas & Arjuna’s Penance. Secret men's bar, Pondicherry French Quarters, fun elephant blessing and parrot astrology.
South India travel video. Overseas Adventure Travel group tour Soul of India - the Colorful South, Friday 10-24-14: The day started with Jeff's birthday celebration by Krishna's butterball at the amazing Mamallapuram Unesco World Heritage monuments site. Sudha, our tour guide, explained to us the differences of the cave carving process where whole temples are carved out of rocks. We could see practice walls and caves by the roadside where young sculptures trained in the art. I guess people would really be upset with you if you made a mistake and messed up a whole temple and years’ worth of work.
We also saw the amazingly intricate rock art called the ‘Descent of the Ganges”, with myriad of carved designs, including cobras, huge elephants, baby elephants, monkeys, real people, mythical beings, etc. This is where Arjuna’s Penance is carved. Sudha gave us background on his story, which is part of the Mahabharata, the longest known Hindu epic poem. Watch for the story of the sneaky cat with the full belly :)
We then visited the Five Rajas. A set of temples modeled after chariots (it's also called The Five Chariots). It's mind-blowing that people would even think of carving out that much rock to form these huge structures. They are not built - they are carved out! even the negative space between the temples and the huge animal statues has been purposely flattened.
Next stop was Unesco World Heritage Shore temple, believed to be part of what sailors used to call the Seven Pagodas which they used as navigation landmarks. The temple faces the Bay of Bengal and must look like a pagoda from the sea. Warning about an incident of abuse towards a dog. We have to remember that in some countries/areas treating animals with kindness is an emerging idea. It needs to be taught. Kindness IS contagious.
We then visited what Sudha calls secret men's bar because that is where men go to hide from their wives. They tell their wives they are going to work and then go to the bar to drink with their friends. We tasted the local beer and got to see how they serve the liquor - the water comes in a little plastic bag!
Afterwards, we had a wonderful lunch at Le Club in Pondicherry, enjoying the succulent fresh fish that we were served so often in South India. We walked the French Quarter of Pondicherry, seeing the beautiful Eglise de Notre Dame des Anges (Church of Our Lady of Angels) which was built by French Missionaries in 1865 and is modeled after the Lourdes Basilica, policemen wearing kepis, the French military caps with the flat circular top and visor, and streets with names such as “Rue Dumas”. The police station, labeled in French “Maison de la Police”, actually had a pretty little garden in front of it. We saw a genuine 'chaiwala', tea selling vendor, rickshaws, tuk tuks, and men and women picking up their kids from school on scooters. Sudha sawed us how he used to make whistles out of tree leaves when he was a boy.
We then walked by the Pondicherry Promenade. Kids were having fun climbing up to the statue of the 'Father of India' Mohandas Gandhi and people were starting to get together for pleasant strolls and to watch the beautiful sunset. Goubert Avenue (Beach Road) that runs by the Bay of Bengal turns pedestrian in the evening and comes alive - the whole promenade fills with vendors selling food, drinks, and all sorts of things. Great people watching place, but unfortunately, I was too tired to return – maybe a reason to visit Pondicherry again :)
Several of our travelers were told their fortune by a parrot. Parrot astrology or fortune-telling used to be very prevalent in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Nowadays the practice is in jeopardy of disappearing. The astrologer has a trained parrot in a cage and stacks of special cards in front of him. There are 27 cards with images of Hindu deities, Buddha, Jesus, or the Virgin Mary. He lets out the parrot and, with his beak, he selects a card from the stack, and hands it to the astrologer / fortune teller who interprets it for you based on the image that is selected. It seemed pretty accurate!
Then, near Ganesha's Temple, we had a very fun interaction with Lakshmi, a smart and adorable necklace wearing elephant that blesses you by tapping you on the head. Sudha bought greens for us to give her, but she really preferred money. It's unbelievable how delicate elephants can be with that big strong trunk. She hands the bills to the mahout so smoothly, she could have been a pick-pocket.
Nearby is the Sri Aurobindo Ashram, a Hindu meditation retreat, that had a lovely garden and was full of people, but we were not allowed to take photos or video.

남인도 케랄라주 코치/코친 여행긴지 쇼핑긴지. 소고기를 먹는 인도인들, 낯설다 Kochi, Kerala
우띠에서 코임바토르를 거쳐 코치로 내려갑니다
저 동네는 정확히는 Fort Kochi 로 코치에서 30분쯤 더 들어간 곳입니다
코치 방값이 너무 비싸서 조스텔에 전화해두고 내려갔는데 포트코치로 검색하니 더 싼방도 나옴
코치 첫인상이 가장 이때까지의 인도중에 가장 인도같지 않은 깨끗하고 깔끔한 느낌
도로가 정비되있고 의미는 없지만 신호등이 있고 타보진 못했지만 지하철이 있고
인도에 지하철있다는 이야기는 들어본적이 없는데, 신기했음
그만큼 물가자체가 비싸단 생각을 많이했고 100루피로 세끼외식도 했었는데 점심먹기도 힘드니
아무리 주마다 문화가 다르다지만 다같이 소고기를 먹는 장면도 신기했고
그런데도 저 소머리상이 가장 인상에 남았다
한국에 간다면 꼭 벽에 저거 두개를 걸어두고 싶다
(21) Cochin / Backwater Tour (Indien)
Nicht nur die Stadt selbst, sondern vor allem eine Tour durch die südlich bei Alleppy gelegenen Backwaters mit dem Hausboot machen einen Aufenhalt in Cochin höchst lohnenswert.
