In Kerala, you can hire river boats with living accommodation and a cook. They are meant to have around six people but you can hire them all to yourself and sit under the an awning while your cook prepare local foods for you?

Did you know... that in the 1920's and 30's, makeup and lotion containing radioactive materials were promoted for good health and beauty?
We know now that radioactive material is, to say the least, Really Bad For You. But after the Curies discovered radium in the late 1890's, of course the health and beauty industry capitalized on it. According to one advertisement in 1918, "An ever-flowing Fountain of Youth and Beauty has at last been found in the Energy Rays of Radium. When scientists discovered Radium they hardly dreamed they had unearthed a revolutionary “Beauty Secret.” They know it now. Radium Rays vitalize and energize all living tissue. This Energy has been turned into Beauty’s aid. Each and every ‘Radior’ Toilet Requisite contains a definite qualtity of Actual Radium."
The stuff made all the usual beauty claims, firming, rejeuvenating, and particularly suggested a "brighter, glowing complexion," ha! There are no statistics that I've seen directly tying the use of irradiated cosmetics to skin cancer, but it IS worth noting that a man who invented an (ahem) implant to cure impotence later died of bladder cancer, which doesn't exactly seem like a coincidence.

We'll I would hope very much you are a democracy! Don't you have a free vote? Don't you have freely elected politicians? Don't you have universal franchise? A Republic can be non-democratic as is the People's Public of China or a democratic republic as, I fondly believed, the USA. One doew not exclude the other.
