Hi this is a blog to explain all the stuff we did in our week in Kanur:
First thing we did was have a naked massage with the 3 Swedish girls, a french girl, a belgium girl and a Romanian girl (the people we're living with and doing projects elsewhere) who we'd only met a couple of hours before. Having a naked massage is a great way to break the ice when meeting people.
Made friends with a local girl called Dani and went round her house to get all Mendhied up very beautiful.
Had some yoga lessons can now touch our toes but can't do the free standing headstand our teacher was trying to get us to do.
Went to a snake park zoo thing so lots of animals in really small cages.
Saw a Theyyam dance at the local temple which was very interesting to see and experience.
Laura cut her foot open and had to have a mini operation to remove dirt and stones.
Got given lessons on Indian history, culture, religion, family values by a local teacher who was very anti western culture and basically thought we don't appreciate our families and its ok to cheat on your wife in the western world. And that all the British are murders and rapists as he explained in our history lesson.
Saw the biggest handloom factory in Kanataka bought a pillow case, the conditions of the workers were better than I expected and they had a very strong no child labour policy.
Saw a fort went to the beach and also expereinced a local variety show put on to celebrate the opening of a library. It was a 2 day extravaganza and was very humbling to see people so pleased about a library opening when in UK they are all closing down.
That basically sums up our week in Kannur.
