What a great visit to Cochin in the Kerala region on the Southwest coast of the Indian sub-continent. We stayed at the luxuriously renovated Brunton Boat Yard Hotel in the Old Fort Cochin area. This little peninsula was occupied by different people throughout the centuries - each of whom left a signature on the area. There's the oldest Jewish Synagog in the British empire here. There's also famous and picturesque Chinese Fishing Nets still in use. We wandered the back alleys and got lost. The Indian people are excellent, friendly and helpful. But I am afraid that frequently guidance is filled with confidence yet incorrect. So we got directions from multiple people all of whom were contradictory. Funny thing - this is the same problem we get in the industry from programmers raised in India - confidently stated wrong answers.
Nevertheless, what a beautiful and fun evening.
