Fort Kochi

Saturday 19/01/2013 - FORT KOCHI.

 Welcome to Fort Kochi!

Chinese fishing nets.

3 to 5 people are required to manipulate these huge fishing nets.

In such a street shop you buy your fish (150Rs, ~2€, for my 700g Red Snapper for instance),

and then you can bring it to a street restaurant for cooking or grilling.

Another of these shops.

Not only fish is sold, also these very useful drawing tools.

"Very cheap, just for you, Sir!".

The fish was so nice smelling that I started eating, nearly forgetting to take a picture.

Some colonial houses need a lifting.

 The Dutch cemetry.

Saint Francis of Assisi church, replacing the first European church build in India, in1503.

In this church Vasco da Gama was laid to rest in 1524.

While some colonial houses are already "lifted".

No comment...

First biennale contemporary art exhibition, with many installations.

I will not comment them.
