Cochin, also referred to as Kochi, is a paradise of sandy beaches and waving palm trees. It is within the Indian state of Kerala, which is a narrow strip of coastal territory in the south of India that stretches down the Western Ghats, and reaches up to the Arabian sea.
It is cleaner and quieter than many Indian tourist destinations. In fact, you would be forgiven for mistaking the look and feel of the place for a small, traditional European city. The influence of the British, Dutch and Portuguese, who all ruled there during past centuries, can still be felt in many aspects of life, such as social attitudes, architecture and infrastructure.
It is a religious place, and the local people there have varied ethnic backgrounds. You will find Hindus, Muslims, Jews and Christians living in harmony and celebrating all religious festivals with enthusiasm. All places of worship are present (temples, mosques, churches and even synagogues), and there are some really fantastic examples of them, with colorful and interesting histories.
Cochin’s most famous landmark is a set of Chinese fishing nets at harbor, which is the oldest part of the city. These fishing nets are over a hundred years old, yet they are still in full operation today. Not only can you watch the fishermen work, it is also possible for you to join in and help them should you wish to do so. There are, of course, lots of other worthwhile sights there too, more than enough to occupy you for a week or two.
The coastline that extends from Cochin has some of the best beaches in the whole of India. The coconut lined sands and clear blue sea, make a picture perfect destination to spend to your vacation. The beaches are unspoilt too, as there are typically just a few shacks and restaurants lining the shores, so you can enjoy the surroundings pretty much as nature created them.
As for where to stay, Cochin was one of the first places in India to pioneer the concept of homestays, which provide a much needed source of extra income to the locals, while at the same time giving you a chance to experience the real Cochin. Under this homestay concept, you get to stay at the home of a local family, and will be shown around and looked after by them.

Fashion these days seems to be an ever changing whirlwind that only the most dedicated fashionistas can hope to follow. Twice a year the biggest design houses in the world come out with new lines that mean a whole new wardrobe every spring and fall, just to keep up with the times. It is not only expensive, but it means that a bi-annual closet purge must take place as well. What is much more convenient are the timeless styles that work season in and season out. Beyond the blazer and the little black dress, ethnic clothing is a way to stay fashionably dressed without breaking the bank. Ethnic styles can be flattering and attractive, but as they have to adhere to certain traditions don’t change as much as modern, Western fashions do. Today, there are many ethnic styles of clothing, such as designer salwar kameez that are taking the world by storm.
For hundreds of years the people of the subcontinent, particularly in northern Indian, Afghanistan, and Pakistan have been wearing salwar kameez. On the most basic level, the garment is composed of a baggy shirt and pants. The salwar are drawstring trousers that are either straight cut or they can have a gather near the top and bottom like harem pants.
A salwar is a long shirt that reaches to approximately the knees of the wearer. Previously the sleeves were cut out with the entire garment, but today Western inset sleeves are much more common.
From this base you can have nearly endless fashion varieties. Because there are so many different types of fabrics, designs, and cuts your salwar kameez can be a plain garment that you just wear around the house or it can be a high fashion article of clothing that will light up a red carpet or a fancy restaurant. Throughout much of South Asia, if you want to buy a salwar kameez the first thing that you do is go into a shop to pick out the fabric. Much of it has fancy work around the neck and sleeves, and sometimes even beading or sequins.

Designer salwar kameez are styles that are readymade and displayed in an upscale South Asian show room or a Western clothing boutique. The fabric and the cut were determined by a designer and you buy the size that fits you. This adds up to a garment that is incredibly flattering but doesn’t change every year with the oscillating dictates of modern, Western fashion.

The island of South Georgia, an inhospitable frozen wasteland of glaciers, snow-capped mountains and freezing winds, lies in the southern Atlantic Ocean east of Tierra del Fuego.
This remote Antarctic island is part of the British territory of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The British claim to sovereignty of South Georgia dates from 1775 when Captain Cook landed here and dismissed the island as not worth discovering. Argentina also claimed the island in 1027, an unresolved dispute which contributed to the 1982 Falklands war when Argentine forces briefly occupied South Georgia.
In 1916 Ernest Shackleton became stranded on Elephant Island to the south-west, while on his Imperial Straits Antarctic Expedition, Shackleton and a small group of men left the rest of the party to summon help and ended up, after an arduous journey, at King Haakon Bay on the south coast of South Georgia.
They then managed to make it overland to reach help at Stromness whaling station, which led to the rescue of the remaining men. Daring a later expedition in 1922, Shackleton died on board a ship off South Georgia and he is buried on the island at Grytviken.
There is no permanent human population on South Georgia, only the British Government Officer, research scientists and museum staff at Grytviken, but there are enormous populations of penguins, the largest colonies anywhere on earth, with around 400,000 breeding pairs of king penguins, two million pairs of the macaroni penguins and large colonies of four other species.
Visitors come here to watch penguin couples overcome the extreme climatic conditions and nurture their precious eggs through hatching and the vulnerable chick stage into fully fledged members of the colony. The charming creatures work tirelessly together avoiding the seals that lurk in the shallows waiting to pounce and protecting their young from ferocious skua gulls who will snatch one and tear it to shreds.
When he landed here in the 18th century, Captain Cook noted the huge seal and whale populations around the island, but just two hundred years later both had been hunted nearly to extinction. South Georgia is, however, home to 95 per cent of the world’s southern fur seals, half the southern elephant seals, 250,000 Albatrosses, including the massive Wandering Albatross, and up to ten million other seabirds, making a trip here a totally unique experience.
It doesn’t matter what your travel needs are, if you are looking for cheap hotels, cheap flights to London or cheap flights to India, visit or call Flight Centre today.

In’27 when Indian Motorcycle began manufacturing they had three major products which included the Indian Scout, the Indian Chief and the Indian Ace. Afterwards they got possession of the assets of Ace Motorcycle Company which got stamped as Indian Four.
There was a lot happening in America in’27 with the first all talking movie was made called The Jazz Singer, with Al Jolson. This year also saw Charles Lindberg flying across Atlantic to reach Paris achieving success for the first time while Babe Ruth in the 8th innings of a game between New York and Washington hit his 60th home run. A man called Louis Gehrig was in the line-up after Ruth for the beating.
1927 will go down in the history as the year which saw the fantastic increase of Jazz culture though the farmers were having a tough time and sold out their farms to become tenant farmers for others. This year was also a good year for Indian Motorcycle Company.
The indication that Indian Motorcycle was doing fine came from the fact that the sale of the Scout and the Chief went up. Besides the Ace Company bike, the rights of which were acquired by Indian Motorcycle, produced a four cylinder machine which was named “Ace Indian”. After a year the name was changed to Indian Four which was a huge and comfortable bike.
The Indian Four that started out as the Indian Ace evolved by’41 into a 77 cubic inch (1,256 cc) four cylinder machine. It had a tank-shifting three speed transmission and was dressed up in the Indian skirted fenders. Indian made some in’42, but with the start of World War II, production of the Indian Four stopped for good.
In’27, however, America and the Indian Motorcycle Company were cruising along. Police departments were obtaining so many Indian Scouts and Chiefs that a production facility was made just to deliver law enforcement. Indian Motorcycle Company was working in’27 on a version of the Scout with a new lower frame.
In’27 the Indian Motorcycle could hardly know that by’28 its 101 Scout would be greatly in demand and after 40 years the same bike would gain fame in Under-1000 cc speed record at the Bonneville Salt Flats in northwest Utah.
It is difficult to find a1927 Indian Motorcycle. The existing bikes have been restored by the bike lovers to its previous form and can be sold for $30,000. The most exciting year in the history of Indian Motorcycle Company was’27.
The 1927 Indian motorbike is fondly recalled by true motorcycle lovers around the world. If you are considering buying an Indian, check out this page on Indian motorcycle dealers.
