On your visit to Kochi (Cochin) you’ll note a different mix of fauna than elsewhere in India. Urban bovines are rare, but roving flocks of goats roam the streets. Also, cats are much more prominent than in doggie-dominant Bangalore. I suspect the latter has to do with the large amounts of seafood that comes ashore here.

To the West of Helsinki there’s a large inlet from the Gulf of Finland that’s studded with small islands. This photo was taken in that area.

This is the equivalent of a city bus in the Keralan Backwaters. These boats are loaded with people and cruise from pier to pier, picking up and dropping off local passengers. The houseboats give them a wide berth as they tool about much more quickly. However, because they make frequent stops, we were in a leapfrog match up with them in which we would pass them at the dock and then they’d pass us in motion, and so on.
