Cultural aspects that motivate travel to Kerala By GARY123
| 2009-06-15 06:46:34 GMT-6
The main cultural aspects that motivate people to travel to Kerala are those that are connected with the individual’s desire to travel in to other countries in order to learn more about the way of life of the people living there, and their cultural heritage as expressed in the local art, music, literature, folklore etc. Kerala state has a rich ancient cultural heritage that is known all over the world. because he will not be disappointed due to the diversity of cultural events in the state. Not even one month passes by without any major cultural event. People enjoy the cultural events without any inhibitions. The local culture is very much part of their daily lives.
Even then, perhaps in no other district in Kerala can you see such a diversity and vibrancy in cultural activities as in Thrissur, the cultural capital of Kerala. Thrissur is home to scores of cultural institutions where you can learn and even participate in cultural forms that are extinct in other parts of the state. Scores of students from overseas destinations were trained and many are undergoing training in the scores of cultural institutions scattered at different parts of the district.
To witness the cultural forms in its entirety, the best time to visit the state is during the Onam season. Almost all the leading educational institutions, government departments, non-governmental organizations and other private establishments participate in the cultural events often spending phenomenal sums of money. Almost all the schools and colleges conduct cultural fests and other competitions wherein the students and staff members participate in the traditional attire.
The main venue of the cultural events is in the capital city, Trivandrum. The cultural extravaganza is often inaugurated by the CEO or the Chief Minister of the state. Due to the multiplicity of the cultural forms, the events are held at different venues so as reduce the congestion at the main venue.

Yellow Mountain Winter 2007/2008 By LEMONCACTUS
| 2008-01-01 21:04:46 GMT-6
Having just come back from 3 days up Yellow Mountain, I just wanted to leave a few tips to those planning winter trips this year.
1. There are various areas that are closed, due to ICE and SNOW until the end of March 2008. These are: The West Sea Grand Canyon Route, The Lotus Peak and the Heavenly City Peak.
2. Access via walking, or cable car from the East, West and North are all OK.
3. No SNOW at the moment.
4. Entrance fee: 120RMB or 100RMB with student card.
5. Cable cars, when I was there, were still charging 55RMB per person/one way!
6. Mountain is still very busy, would advise booking rooms/beds ahead if possible.
7. Temperatures below zero, between -2 and -10.
OK, think that's all for now, have a great trip :)

HSBC / First Direct Account Holders By GHOST

If you bank (in the UK at least) with HSBC or First Direct, you can use your cashcard or savings card to withdraw cash from HSBC atm's without charge. You can even check your balance!
I've used my card successfully without charge in China, Thailand, Hong Kong, Korea, and the Philippines. Remember, it only works with HSBC atm's!

I am not religious but I like visiting temples, monasteries, taoism temples, etc. Disappointedly I found most temples are Degenerated into money machine in name of protecting you and your family. I never donate when pushed. And 10 out of 10, I was pushed! So, I save a lot of money.
Sigh!
