MY JOURNEY IN KERALA (INDIA)

The hotel is restaurant
The state of Kerala is a coastal area located in the southern part of India. A lot of variety of uniqueness in this city there is a thing of my concern that the restaurant is called the "Hotel". Normally the hotel is a resting place for guests from local and international, business meeting but in the state of Kerala (India) has different meanings and functions. Hotels in Kerala are restaurants. It would be surprising for tourists who first come to Kerala when they see so many words “Hotel” in every area of Kerala.
According to the local guider explanation that they have been using the word “Hotel” as a restaurant for a long time, but they will change this word because it isn’t the standard in world. In generally, the hotel is as a place to rest. For those who have been to Kerala that it is not surprising, but for me the first time to visit the state of Kerala this is thing.
In historical perspective, Levy Jacques in his writing explain that the hotel in ancient times used as a place for healing especially thermal baths for patients to rest and recuperation. The more details please refer to the following this link https://www.hospitalitynet.org /opinion/4017990.html.

The first mosque in India
The oldest mosque of India is in Kodungallur at Kerala State. The mosque was first built in 625 AD by Malik bin Dinar. According to the history of the local people, a king of India who dreamed of seeing the moon split in two and then the king asked his dream intent to the Arab trade at that time. And the traders explained that this was the message of the Messenger of Allah saw and then the king went to meet the Messenger of Allah (saw) but unfortunately he died while on his way back to India. After that, Malik bin Dinar came and contrasted a mosque at Kodungallur for respecting of the king.

The Auto
The Kerala society uses a local transportation known as "Auto". Where the auto is a three-wheeled vehicle with driver on the front and two passengers on the back. Auto is the same with Bajaj in Indonesia. Bajaj originated from India which was first exported by PT Bajaj Auto to Indonesia especially to Jakarta since 1970. The name of bajaj itself is actually a brand of one of the automotive companies in India, "Bajaj" Auto. In Kerala, they call “auto” and They call “Bajaj” in Indonesia.
