Kochi, India (a short trip indeed)
by RihanNa (bukan Nama Sebenar)
it was my first to India. for work of course. we had a short International Agent conference held by Curtin Perth and i was fortunate to be chosen representing Curtin Sarawak.
Kochi or Cochin is a very historical city like Melaka i can say. it was conquered by Dutch long time ago. would not bored you with historical facts here.
people every where was nice to us. me and one of the Curtin reps from Nepal had a chance to roam around Cochin the whole day.
in the morning we start of with boating. it took us around 45 minutes to go to the place we called wharf. very small place tho. nearby the area are people selling key-chains and souvenir stuffs. Boating is actually sightseeing around the sea side by boat. we could see fisherman netting along the side, so called islands, and fort cochin as well.
next we went to Fort Cochin. nothing much there except for ruined fort ans people selling stuffs as well. and also we visited one historical churches and went to the beach near by the church.
there i discovered that Vasco Da Gama died in Cochin and was buried in the church. took a lot of photos during my trip.
went to the dutch museum as well. all the history about Fort Cochin and how Cochin was built by the Dutch are all there. was indeed a very fun and fact-full day in Cochin,
you know, the funny part about this trip is when i was there, i was smiling thinking of these scenery that i finally see was only available in tv. when i watch hindustani or tamil movies.. and yet, i was there. enjoying all these.
hope you guys enjoyed these photos as much as i did. enjoy!!
