We are coming back to Goa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Sorry, just so excited. We are heading back to Goa on 31st December, staying in Colva for 2 weeks. Last time we were there was in November 2006, and we missed it so much, and go so annoyed with the English summer, that we saved our time off and booked our holidays. Obviously every one i spoke to is a bit apprehensive for us as we go via Mumbai, and following this week’s events, it is understandable, and i must admit it was quite upsetting to see the pics of Leopold’s Cafe, the hotels and the train station, but there again life goes on, and personnally i feel safer in Goa than i would in London or Paris. So my questions are: how are things in Mumbai for those of you that have been in transit through the city? and are there any gigs worth going to around Colva on New Year’s Eve/Day? any recommendations would be welcome.

Thanks

PS: so pleased to be back ;0

A brief account of Baga/Petit resume de Baga

Wednesday, November 15th, 2006

It is finally time to move on from Baga. It has been enjoyable and relaxing compared to Mumbai. The people are friendly, the jungle is amazing, the beaches are clean. A lot of people come from all over India to spend their vacation here, and a lot of men spend their time oggling at white women (in particular when there is a congregation of fat topless white women – a bit of respect would do  a lot for the westerners reputation!). The food is great: O’Pescador, Bottle Bay and many others. We plan to move to Benaulim on Monday 13. It is supposed to have some beautiful beaches and to be much quieter.  

Le temps est venu de quitter Baga. Ce fut un sejour tres agreable et relaxant compare a Mumbai. Les gens sont amicaux, la jungle est invroyable et les plages sont propres. Beaucoup de gens viennent de l’Inde entiere pour y passer leurs vacances, dont beaucoup d’hommes indiens qui passent leur temps a regarder les femmes blanches. (surtout quand il y a un groupe de grosses vaches avachies en monokini – un peu de respect ne nuirait pas a la reputation des occidentaux!). La nourriture es excellente: O’Pescador, Bottle Bay et beaucoup d’autres. Nous pensons partir a Benaulim le lundi 13. Il est cense y avoir de tres belles plages et estre beaucoup plus calme que Baga.
