kepercayaan mereka.Agak aneh, merayakan festival India di negara Qatar sini hehe...
Iya sih, jumlah orang India di Qatar, 3 kali lipat dari orang asli Qatar, dan 70 persen dari orang India di sini, berasal dari daerah Kerala...
Si Joel denger dari temen2 atau pelancong yang pernah ke India selatan, bilang orang2 di sana ramah. Memang betul, soale rekan2 sekantor yang berasal dari Kerala, mereka ramah2 banget. 
Hari ini mereka ngajak Joel makan dan menerangkan segala sesuatu tentang festival ini....
Mereka malah ngajak Joel untuk mengunjungi mereka di bulan Januari, saat mereka libur, untuk mengunjungi festival besar lain.
Onam is the biggest festival in the Indian state of Kerala. Onam Festival falls during the Malayali month of Chingam (Aug - Sep) and marks the homecoming of legendary King Mahabali. Carnival of Onam lasts for ten days and brings out the best of Kerala culture and tradition. Intricately decorated Pookalam, ambrosial Onasadya, breathtaking Snake Boat Race and exotic Kaikottikali dance are some of the most remarkable features

of Onam - the harvest festival in Kerala. Since a lot of people from Kerala here, working in Qatar, there is celebration yesterday and today in the camp where I live in Ras Laffan.
As heard from many travellers I met, southern Indian is nice place to visit coz the people is very nice. I believe that now and want to go there...
Some friends here invited me to visit next January coz there is other big festival that month. I think I will take the invitation...
