Google Local – Stickers for promotion
Yesterday night, just found this interesting sticker stuck at a local eatery near Kaloor International Stadium, Cochin. It was stuck at the cashiers point.

Looking for spicy sea food in Cochin? Try kettuvallam
Kettuvallam is a house boat widely used in the Indian state of Kerala. These have thatched roof covers over wooden hulls.The traditional kettuvallam has emerged as the mascot of Kerala tourism. That’s the best the Wiki can do to explain what a “kettuvallam” is. To me, “kettuvallam” is a taste, an experience! [...]
