In Hong Kong, people say, “salesmen” come to you with the “latest Rolex” for only 18 dollars: just for you madam. And just in the case you’d bother asking if it’s real, they’d kindly answer to you with their lit up faces: yes madam: same same. but different.
This is why another beach town comes next on the “visit India” list: Kochi. Same same beachy town. But tropical en plus. Spicy in all senses, it seems. And they’ve managed to find a real way of celebrating Christmas: with a very Christy carnival.
