Three Great Things About Kerala

This state has more houses than I've seen anywhere in India, and it has some of the biggest. Even poorer people and village folk have seemingly nice homes. Of course, this shows that literacy and education can help, even when it comes to having good shelter.

There are almost no beggers in Kerala. Sure, there are homeless people, but they rarely ask for money. And there are simply fewer homeless people in Kerala than elsewhere.

Kerala has so many festivals and celebrations and protests that, no matter where you are or what day it is, you'll most likely come across something that captures your attention and brings traffic to a halt. On one day, I witnessed three of these! It's great!
