FUN-travel: Multi Cultural Cochin
November 28, 2016 by Susan Clarke
- The Old City…is a cultural melting pot… with its Portuguese fort… Dutch influenced architecture… Catholic Church…and Jewish Synagogue.
- And local fisherman…along the banks of the bay…still use cantilevered Chinese fishing nets.
- Time honored traditions at Local Laundry……of braided rope lines…so no pins are needed for hanging…and hot coals heat the iron.
FUN-fact – Called the “Queen of the Arabian Sea” Cochin was an important spice trading center on the west coast of India from the 14th century.
