“A few years back Dave and I spent a few days at Kochi (formerly Cochin) down in Kerala State on India’s Malabar Coast in the south-west of the peninsula. The Old Town of Kochi is on a spit of land at the mouth of a large natural harbour, and at the end of that spit of land are a battery of fishing-nets suspended on booms.
“The design’s quite unusual for the sub-continent – apparently it’s of Chinese origin. It was quite something to see the fishermen hauling away on the ropes to retrieve their catch.”
Kay has been an expat for over 20 years. She set up the British Expat website more than 10 years ago, whilst living in London and missing the expat life. These days she spends much of her time lugging computers and cameras around the world. (Dave gets to deal with all the really heavy stuff.)
