Helsinki airport

This page is an appendix for "Long way home, India part 10" which you can find HERE.

Finland's greatest export is not those crappy Nokia phones but the Moomin trolls and therefore htey're naturally represented at the airport.

Awesome!

Temple across the street, Kottakkal

Don't even begin to ask me what's going on in these pictures. I went to this place in total ignorance. I again apologize for the atrocious quality of these pics.

Here's the friendly staffer again. From his thick moustasche you might think he was the main character in part 2 on the main site but I have to disappoint you there. :-)

Kottakkal surroundings

 This page is an appendix for "General impressions, Kottakkal, India part 4" which you can find HERE.

Right behind the ayurveda hospital you have this rural feeling going on witha palmtree jungle.

Mom's having a look around.

Here I am, looking just like I've shit myself.

That horribly overexposed thing behind the jungle is part of the hospital.

More ugly pictures of beautiful surroundings.

Back at the Shiva temple with the huge pools.

Supposedly snakes rather enjoy these pools.

I can see why. Nice surroundings.

Those Indian guys, always ready to strike a pose.

This is kind of funny if you're Swedish...

Where Germans do their shopping.

Strange political message.

I'm curious as to what this sign says, but it's funnier not knowing.

They sure love their communism in Kottakkal.

The local party knew the importance of visibility.

They almost have as many banners as the Lakers.

That guy...

This might be the temple across the street from the hospital.

Russian gal feeling right at home.

Lol.

Lenin with that homemade look.

Talk about your greenery.

There was a lot of house building in the surrounding area.

The standard seems to be higher than downtown.

Whatever you do, mind your ears when one of those monsters pass you by.

An afternoon in Kozhikode.

Jelena seashell-gazing.

There were one or two of them...

Frolicing is mandatory when you're a tourist at the beach.

"Hey look! Not even three of these combined are as pretty as me."

Not too pretty...

The Arabian Sea must be the warmest ocean I've ever set foot in.

Some kind of gunslinger-with-diaper-full-of-shit pose?

"Come on you slut, lift that skirt!"

Kozhikode, where eagles dare.

Some pussies at the beach.

The following pictures are courtesy of Jelena. Better camera and better eye!

You also had your random goat.

More goats. Hail Satan!

Where future soccer legends are born?

Aw that's pretty. As if the japanese military force left a little calling card.

Like I said, there were some seashells.
