Trip To Kerala, India - Day 3

Hi guys,

Once again, it's a wonderful and busy day here at Kerala. We had many events lined up for us and today's a day of Kerala's culture, heritage, architecture, history...

We started out day at Rajagiri Public School attending a session called "Confluence" where Grade 11 & 12 students compete with each other in several activities such as buzzer rounds, skit, case study, interview scenario...

{Johnny so happy to be present for "Confluence"; The emcee of the buzzer round }


{Reveal of the lady's ruined face; The lady and her boyfriend secretly admiring each other}

The skit was pretty cool and funny. It was meant to give the audience a clearer picture of the scenario that the 2 students from 2 teams would be debating on... something like re-enactment for a law-suit... So the case this skit was about concerned a lady and a facial product company. The lady had decided to buy a product from that company upon hearing that its effective rate was 97.5% and signing a disclaimer that she would bear the full consequences if she misused the product. The debate was about who was in the wrong after the lady's face was ruined...

We needed to leave halfway through because there were other events lined up for us. But before going for the other events, we proceeded to the college canteen to have our lunch.

{ Yum yum}

After lunch all of us went to Mr Ong's room, which was just near by the canteen, to change into casual attire for the upcoming events. (couldn't take any pictures for this)

Some random shots while making we were making our way to the bus...




The bus ride was pretty long... and a few interesting things happened...


{Dorje meditating... ; Dorje getting tricked... Lol}




At last, we've arrived at our destination...



We did some shopping as the synnagouge wasn't opened yet. There were lots of bargaining too, of course...
random photos while shopping around...





{Nice little dog; We walking around.... shopping}

There were many places which do not allow photography, so not many photographs of the places we visited...


{South India Church}

There was this church with a very nice painting about the stairway to haven...



I like the visit to the beach the most... there were chinese fishing nets.... and many nice scenery...

    

After a long afternoon, we went to have dinner... because I was really hungry, I didn't get to take many pictures... but there are still many more opportunities for me to do so.

After a whole day long of events, we headed back home in a bus... everyone slept until I needed to leave with my host along one of the roads...

So yeah, that's it for today... really, really tired now... so good night!
