India, the culture diversity of india known by world. In India every state define difference in their culture, food, clothes, languages and nature beauty. I am from india but first time went to the tour of Kerla. Living in maharashtra we only speak marathi or hindi but like state change language change. Visiting kerla i heard first time malayalam language. The journey is pretty adventures because I went some place without my family.Just some 40 student's from my class. Our journey start from a December 29 morning 6 am .We reach chennai at 30,at morning 10 am .At Chennai station because of our day night journey at train we a tired and want to drink some tea but when we went to buy a tea at shop the shopkeeper only understands malayalam language not english not hindi. We all can't speak in malayalam so we speak with in action that we want all tea. And lucky he understands that. After that we went to "marina"beach and play very well on beache and shop from the local store and luckly the understand english. Next day we arrive at Kochi , at 31 st December last day of the year we went to explore city. First we bist the lolu mall at Kochi and the we arrived at boating sight where we all went to boat the boat ride is of 45 min. we play music in the boat and dance on the boat and enjoy every moment with all of our friends.. And after that we reach to the hotel and after finishing our dinner my Friends we want to get explore the beauty of Kochi city at night but because of 31st all shops are close at 9 pm. But we all want to drink beer.like how can we spend our 31st without some fun. But we all got a flop show. Shops are close so we only got 2 bottle of 2.5 litre of coke .2 bottle and members who are gonna drink are 5. Everyone drink atleat 4 glass of coke and without alcohol we all got drunk and guess what where we are drinking our coke not in our hotel room. In front of the Hotel where all people watching us what are we doing. And we are all laughing like idiots, making joke of other people in front of their faces because they all don't understand our language.And then we accidently meet one of the malayalam boy and we are all girls I'm our group and only one of our boy friend. We are all hanging like idiots in front of hotel. While we are counting down the time for new year he reached to us and where are we from??, what are we studying??, In which standard we are??. And we are all babbling in marathi and don't understand what are we talking we making fun of him and poor soul he thought we are very funny... He wish us 2 to 5 times happy new year.. we feel bad for him so we offer him some drink with us. He is nice guy.after we got very late to we just rushing towards our room he want to talk to one my friends and she ia making fun of him in our language and we laughing very hard until his friend come to rescue him but then he said that he had very fun and we are all very funny girls.he don't understand that we are making fun of him he also tales us his instagram id and tell us to add him as a friend.. and we are all doing this at 3 am in the morning where our rest of the friends are taking their beauty sleep.. The next journey went very well we all have some fun like that we went different shops and disturbs them and making hard time to understand them our language.But hope for fun and learn that they are very kind and helpful people but don't understand our language.
