The third sex. Transgenders in India.
In my post about elephants in Kerala I promised to come back on the topic of transgenders in India, also referred to as The Third Sex. Ofcourse we have gay people in the Netherlands. And we have transgenders too. But not in the numbers in which I see them in the streets of India and not manifesting themselves in […]
From Kochi to Varkala
After our days in Kochi we took a taxi to Varkala. A drive that turned out to take us 5 hours and that was quite stressful. The road was only one lane each way and everyone tries to overtake everyone. Scary sometimes! Along the way the roads are lined with XXXL billboards. It is such […]
Cochin by sunset
Well, I think it’s time to say goodbye to Cochin; my nine posts about Kerala and Cochin so far must have given you a good impression of this area. We really loved our explorations of Kerala and Cochin. I find it one of the most pleasant states in India. Somehow it has a relaxed, liberal vibe. I […]
Kochi biennale
When we were at Kochi, staying at the Vivanta by Taj, Malabar, it so happened that India’s first ever Biennale was held in Cochin. To be more precise, it actually just ended, after having been there for 3 months:-(. Boohoo…. But….it seemed to have been extended with a couple of days, so we were able to pick […]
Goa pictures
Well, I have shown you my Goan pictures from our paradise-on-earth hotel here, here, and here, from it’s restaurant The Copper Bowl here and from it’s private beach here. You saw lots of pictures from the Hindu Shigmo Festival here and here. And I gave you my photographic impressions of Old Goa and Panjim. I finish my Goan series with […]
Where to go in Goa
Where to go in Goa depends very much of what you are looking for. If it is beaches, then you’re good: they are all along the Goan coast;-). If we take Panjim, the capital, as the centre of coastal line, then it is said that the north, all above Panjim, is very developed and thus […]
Old Goa
I already posted a number of posts about our holiday in Goa and about our lovely hotel there. And after that I wrote some posts about the famous Hindu Festival named Shigmo, here and here. But during our Goan holiday we did more, like visiting Old Goa. Goa has been governed by the Portuguese for 500 years. They brought, amongst […]
Shigmo, a Hindu Festival. Part 2.
I showed you the first part of the Shigmo Parade in another post. Here follows the rest: Hi, I’m Hanuman and I’m the Mo…oh, you know already:-(. But at least I am the most impressive one of the parade;-) And I can stand on one leg…impressed???? Don’t get green with envy, cause I already am! Hahaha… […]
Shigmo, a Hindu Festival. Part 1.
In Goa they have their own take on Holi, named Shigmo. We so happened to be in Panjim when the Shigmo Parade was being held. Woohee! Cool! The days before, we saw the decorations in the streets: We were able to figure out roughly where it would be held and at what time, but not […]
