Welcome to Kerala !

We arrived to Kerala......to the most richest, most cleanest, most civilized, most educated, most touristic, most hottest, most communistic, most relaxed, most..... state of India.....where by the way are only three seasons: hot, hotter and hottest.
















Super-lux business building next to the typical Keralan (Portugese) building





















On our first glance we thought that this man is carrying a rabbit in his hair :-)

Kerala is governed by communistic government. It is quite unbelievable, but it seams that this might be the only place on Earth, where communism actually works. Literacy rate is the highest in whole India, perfect health care system, people seam to be happier and more satisfied, fewer beggars, NO COWS ON THE STREETS....they are actually eating them !

Although, where is communism, there is no way round from propaganda....this we saw and heard a lot in Kerala: meetings, cars with communist flags driving around the city and talking some monotonous stuff into the loudspeaker.

On each street of the capital city of Thiruvanantapuram (Trivandrum) you can see the great leaders of the "Great Communismus".













































































We also noticed picture of Stalin, but somehow this picture mysteriously disappeared from our photo collection......


We heard that in Trivandrum, there is the best zoo in all over Asia, where quite good living conditions have been provided for animals,
So we went to see it.

However, if this was supposed to be the nicest zoo in the whole Asia, then it gives us shivers to think about how do the other zoos in this part of the World look like.....

Another interesting feature of Keralan communism is that when usually communism opposes religion and tries to "clean" the country of it, than in Kerala, communism and religion, either Christianity or Hinduism, seamed to be existing happily together.






















































Keralan government building. We tried to ask one of the guard, what does the "South Sandwich Block" mean, but with no success. He only pointed us the way to "North Sandwich Block"













A religious (Christian) meeting, which from the angry and energetic tone of the speaker seamed more like some kind of terrorist organization gathering.....
