True but besides Honolulu-Oahu all other islands are like Kerala......Only HR buildings in Oahu...Seen most of them but Kuaii...

manasiladi Mona, didn't google but I had been brought up with a lot of Mallu neighbors, so I know a few lines that my friends taught me not a whole lot. I can't sepak as much but I understand when someone speaks...especially when my friends mom used to tell mone enge vaa....vaanu mone...addkiyu...Hope I got that right...

It's "manassilayi" - 'manassiladi' is said to younger girls - similar to using aap aur tum in places. Yes, mone ingu vaa, vaa mone, is it adikku or aakkiyo? Yeah, they are kinda similar in spelling but very different in meaning... But you are pretty good for someone from UK with just mallu neighbours!! 👏

Thank you, Di. Every time I see documentary on HI, I feel like watching home, but then I see the big buildings, I know it has to be an US city.... 😊

I am glad you ladies are having fun, laughing it up. Can I get some chips (upperi) and soda for you?

@Neha: My family don't believe in castes but Nairs aren't Brahmins are they?😕But yes it is a high caste I THINK. I wouldn't know much about south stuff though other than from what I learn from my friends.

Yeah malayalee's can be Muslim too, most of my mallu friends are catholic along with quite a few hindu mallu friends so it's quite a mix.😊

Kerala is often called 'God's own country' and it's supposed to be really pretty! =)

I would love to try those mango chips.

Karela chips huh?! For a second there, I thought you were saying Kerala chips. But then, after a closer look, I figured you were talking about Karela (Bittergourd). Hmmmm! I wonder how they taste? I do like rotis and deep fry Karela (lightly salted and garnished with carmalized onions, lassoon, a little chilli and masala powder) .
