One thing that's remarkable about Indians is how loudly they talk. Even when sat next to the person they are talking to, in a quiet breakfast place (with me sat at the next table) they seem incapable of toning it down, always talking as if they are competing with the horns of a hundred rickshaws. Don't know how they manage it, I'd need to gargle with anti inflamatories after half an hour of it.

We get that with the British Bengali youth in east London. They stand within feet of each other and a group of 4 lads will make the noise of a small crowd. No aggression they are just chatting. Very loudly..
The other people with loud voice are black British Africans.
I believe it is due to a more recent evolution into modern society. In the jungle you would need a loud voice whereas in modern society it is generally OK to speak more quietly.
Either that or they get everyone in their homes shrieking when they are small so they learn that shrieking at high volume is normal behaviour.

Spaniards too are loud but they also have an incredible speed, they jabber against each other, frequently all speaking at the same time which creates a barrage of noise. My theory is the self centred attitude is so much more prevalent now and they must increase volume to be the dominant speaker. The South Africans had it right. "Speak softly and carry a big stick ... you will go far." I agree, with bad parenting young chldren learn very quickly that shrieking will get them what they want. Punishment is haphazard or misdirected and the confusion means children become self reliant very early. South Africans you say?

India is a really noisey country, well in the urban areas anyway. Where abouts in Kerala are you? I used to enjoy Kerala, north Kerala around moona is really beatiful. I've motorcycled the coast road and all along the western ghats quite a few times. But not since I got a boat.

The Chicken Song. I'm afraid to say I can recite both of those songs off by heart The south african one is brilliant. Only trouble is that I have met a nice south African or two or more so it does not apply but as a boycott song it was excellent.

It's a resort but no packages available here. Popular with independent travellers and especially those into yoga.

I am not into yoga, I am into champagne.

I don't do yoga as I am dairy intolerant.
If they do soya yoga I would consider it.
