Read through the blog – you should find plenty tips there – and feel free to ask any questions you have. Interestingly, the regime has been transforming itself, so it actually hasn’t been overturned – it’s doing it all by itself – people still question how real this all is – most regimes don’t give up power voluntarily (though some do – look at South Africa) – but so far it appears to be pretty real. I think that there have been changes – more freedom of press (just six months ago most newspapers were dedicated 100% to sport as they really couldn’t write about anything else) and more openness to Aung San Suu Kyi – you can buy posters of her now, which was simply impossible to do six months ago. Life won’t have changed much otherwise at all though tourism is booming and new hotels will have to be built soon, as supply is limited.

Good to hear from you. Ecuador was wonderful. The Galapagos is very safe of course, but actually, if you compare Quito with Myanmar, we felt much safer in Myanmar. The fact is, that crime is almost unknown in Myanmar/Burma, and one feels safe at any time of day or night. In Quito, as in much of Latin America, it is generally unsafe to walk around at night in many areas.

France is really a kid-friendly country. I have been doing some research recently and came up with a list of recommended activities. I think this might be useful for you and your readers.

The two main beach locations in Kerala are Varkala and Kovalam. It’s a while since I was in Kovalam but I seem to recall the sea as being quite a bit better than at Varkala. Varkala is a more laid back place than Kovalam and I really enjoyed it, but I loved Kovalam too! One must be careful in the Arabian Sea – it does tend to have undercurrents, backwash etc that you can’t see in any photos so don’t let your five year old in on his own unless you have been in first and you judge it to be really calm. If he is together with you you should both be fine. Only strong swimmers should go in deep though.

Reading your text “waves and current are super dangerous” … are there any less dangerous beaches in Kerala? Any hints? We have 5 years old boy, and are planning on where to go in Kerala… Thanks! And, great blog!
