From: Frederick [FN] Noronha * ???????? ???????? Mmm...what's the name of the place? Mandrem, right! I thought the programme was problematic in other ways too. Reflects the Western tourists' perception of "our" "paradise". FN ==================================== FN,
Familiarity does dull the edge of perception and it can be refreshing to read accounts by outsiders, be they Westerners or Easterners! The Yoga segment of the programme is described at http://www.gadling.com/2008/09/26/andrew-zimmern-of-bizarre-foods-trip-to-an -ayurvedic-health-cen/print/ It was shot at the Ayurvedic Health Centre http://www.healthandayurveda.com/ The programme itself was 30 minutes long and should be available in a day or two from http://andrew-zimmern-podcast.travelchannel.com/ Eddie -------------------------------------------------------- PS: Would you share your views on Goanet, since it came up there? 2008/9/26 Naguesh Bhatcar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Fred, > > I happened to watch it on the Travel Channel a couple of days ago. > The only thing that bothered me was his mention of "Goanese". > > One question -- Isn't that Ayurveda treatment a typical Kerala setup?
