南印度十六天﹝一﹞/南印度人﹝一﹞16 days in South India (1)/ South Indian (1)

這次旅行真的很好玩。當中一個原因,是南印度人的好客,令這地方吸引。南印度人很友善,在這地方行走覺得安全,不太擔心被騙及東西被偷。因此,要在這裡介紹。

喀拉拉邦科欽Green Woods Bethlehem旅館老闆的一家。爸爸叫Ashley Edwin Philip,而媽媽叫Sheeba。


這間旅館成立約5年。看照片也知,他們信天主教。
他們真的很好客,你可以與他們一家人享用晚餐,而每天清早起來,他們會為你預備早餐,而你也可在任何時候飲他們的咖啡。
每當你查問旅遊資料,他們雖然未必瞭若指掌,但也盡力地問朋友找尋答案。一些外國遊客會在旅館住上幾個月,除旅遊外也從事各式各樣活動,例如藝術教育。
房租每晚Rs500﹝相等於港幣100元﹞。離開的一天,我想給他們一點小費,當作咖啡錢也好晚餐錢也好,但他們拒絕了。

This trip is fantastic. One of the reasons behind is the hospitality of South Indians, which make this place attractive. South Indians are very friendly. I feel safe walking around without the fears of being robbed and cheated. I wish to introduce them here.

The family of the owner of Green Woods Bethlehem guest house in Cochin, Kerala. The father is Ashley Edwin Philip and the mother is Sheeba.
This guest house is established for about five years. As you can see in the picture, the family believes in Catholic.
They are really hospitable. You can enjoy dinner with the whole family. And your breakfast is prepared everyday after you wake up. You can also ask for a cup of coffee whenever you want.
They may not know the answers to your travel-related questions, but they will ask their friends for the details. Some of the overseas guests will stay in the house for months. Apart from tourism, some of these guests are engaged in other activities, such as arts education.
The room charge is Rs500 per night (HK$100). I attempted to give them some tips on the day of leaving for their coffee and dinner, but they refused my offer.
