Day 09 : Kovalam Beach~~~

Have been looking forward for this day to come! For the whole week, this is the day we have been looking forward to after 5 to 6 days of work!

This is Kovalam Beach~~



Hohohoho... cost us 300 rupees to get there by autotrishaw from here... saw huge lumps of shit at the roadside... wonder if its from the elephant’s... the auto trishaw too fast.. didnt manage taking a shot of it. Hahaha...


Before you can get into the beach... you have to pass through this row of shops... Scary is because, tons of promoters are standbying down there to pull you into their shops.... but there are interesting things and products around... so wont hurt to take a look. they have souveniors ranging from statues to hand-made products like bags, shoes and many more.

Had our lunch there, hahah, I got this seafood platter for like 500 rupees which is about S$16? It consist of fish, prawn masala and sotongs with some herbs, and with rice and one chapatti... its kinda big proportion and in front of us is the sea... hoots! And the food is nice...no doubt... hahah.
Some scenery shots:






For some reason, many people keep asking if we are from Japan or Korea... people starts 'genki' and 'konnichiwa' us. Maybe because we looked 'asian'...thatz why... perhaps?
During our walk walk see see... there are promoters again trying to sell their goods to us, and we are easy targets because firstly we are the only Asians there, (kinda of) secondly, we are students, innocent harmless student... T...T..
We are often stalked by particularly 2 groups: ‘The Pineapple Beauties’ & ‘The Drum Handsomes’... they keep persuading us to buy their things and tend to find faults at the products that we have bought earlier and keep following us wherever we go.


Got one of the ‘drum handsomes’ actually eyeing on my handphone. Of course i wont agree in whatever terms he named for my phone... No No No...we began to flee like refugees when we see these 2 groups... kinda irritaing but well, they are trying to earn for a living so I always decline them with a smile... J haha.

Didn’t manage to take much photos because my camera died... Bwah!
