Kathakali

Last night we went to a kathakali which is a "dramatized presentation of a play, usually based on the Hindu epics the Ramayana, the Mahabharate and the Puranas. Drummers and singers accompany the actors, who tell the story through precise movements, particularly mudras (hand gestures) and facial expressions." (LP)

We've had varying experiences with food and restaurants. We both love the food but sometimes are surprised as many places operate differently. For example, we usually just order a curry or two, rice and flat bread. As well there are different spicy soups, drinks, desserts or condiments that just come with it. But sometimes other random dishes come half way through the meal, or the servers just come offer us different things to try. And when we were in the rural areas they don't have menus, so just name off different dishes. And if we can't decide right away a gathering of servers join in and try to help us by naming off all the dishes again or giving their opinion of what is best. Either way, we end up with our food. haha.

Gotta go!!
