Nostalgia for Kerala (and its food) by Pete Cherches

1. Kerala is a success story of the developing world.
2. Jewtown is a fascinating place.

3. It's a mannered, gestural, ritualistic dance theatre, similar in some ways to other Asian dance idioms, such as Indonesian and Japanese forms.

4.The dancers have perfect control of all face and body muscles, and the make-up is striking and elaborate.

5.The ride was delightful, though a bit claustrophobic.
