Titia helps the fishermen tending the Chinese fishing nets. The fishermen, with Titia's help, lower the net into the water and then haul it up again using a pulley system. The catch is pathetic, however. The whole thing is really about catching the tourists!

  • Yah hard job, lotsa morons watching me...

  • chinese traders brought it to Kochin hundreds of years ago - hence the name "Chinese Fishing Net"

  • this is not china, u fool...

  • It is telling that this largely stationary net contraption is not pulling fish out of the water. At the time it was constructed there were enough fish to justify its expense. I suspect that the fish have either all been fished out, or other environmental issues are at work to put this net system near the end of its useful life.
