Cochin: Other Portugality


I didn't like it before. Usually when the word "colonial building" appeared in the description, I did not care. In India, I changed my mind. It all started in Goa, but confirmed in Cochin. Where we also find the little touches that are a reminder of a past that was also Portuguese.

What attracts me is not so much the memory. I like to feel the merger. A proof that humanity is made up of mixtures. And that they have the power to create something unique and beautiful. Rather than finding a little Portugal, we find another dimension of Portugality, an adaptation and fusion. We feel at home, without being in ours...
