Goa is Beautiful.
Hi, for once I would recommend Goa as a tourist paradise.
The reason what the tourist who come look out for is all
found there.
For instance beaches with shacks are let out to rent, bars,
good goan food as well as the people are not hostile.
Friendly atmosphere, I would advice people to go place called
Carina Beach as there is a resort there called Carina resort
I have lived there for a week, good place with continental or
english breakfast cost you around Rs750.00 for non ac for ac
may be a bit more for a couple.
It is just 4 or 5 kms away from Margao city, you want to
enjoy go now and eat all the mangoes, jackfruits and cashews
as much as you want.
1.Panjim is the main city of Goa, and all people out there
really live life, you will not get to see many cars but
plenty of motorbikes who take you to places you want to go
for an amount.
We had our own vehicle, so on this I cannot give you much
information.
2.Greenery of every kind, mango grooves, paddy fields,
jackfruit trees, cashews the fruit I used to halt the jeep
and go out breaking mangoes.
Mischevious arent I yes with children I become a child
I have a lot of family there, but I prefer being alone
I go out meet them, call them to the hotel, go to their
houses for lunch, but staying from this crowded life I be
on my own, either my husband, brother and his kids some
one stays with me.
3.You know I like the way the goan people relax, they really
live a tension free life, shops open up lesiurely close
down for a siesta, then open and by 8.00pm its good night.
Its like early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy
wealthy and wise.
You see people get up early the women folk to all their
jobs, and then go out and work in fields.
I admire them honestly, we people are lazy in front of them.
Once we get their lives I am sure I will throw out all the
medicines I take.
4.Pollution free it is in the country side, We have built a
house there so I am going for the Puja of my home.
So any mouthshut members are welcome.
5.There is a place called Maim Lake it is also a nice spot,
There is a hotel there which name when I recollect I will put it
down reasonable charges around Rs550.00 or something but a
place you can relax and get home cooked food.
6.Calangute, Bicholim , Mapusa, and so many beaches Goa is
fun, during the carnival it is difficult to even get a place
to stay people live on streets for that time as all hotels
are booked, so go during the carnival in Jan the climate
is too good then.
7.Old Goa the church of Saint Francis of Asisi,
St.Francis Xavier is there and his body is very much there
in its casket.
The people of Goa are staunch Catholics, tourist who like
to see old churches and such things will enjoy Goas this
place in particular.
Take the bus which takes you on a tour they will show all
places Dona Paula is one more place not to be missed.
8.Enjoy the goan food but be careful, cause it is very
pungent I got myself in trouble for one day then to I ate
the bangda rechad was lovely, it is a fish fried in with
spices put as stuffing.
9.Go out to place called Costas and buy the best of goan
sweet especially a sweet called Dodol its good.
They have plenty of varieties and do not forget the goa
cashew nuts to carry home take the skinless ones for kids
and broken ones to prepare any dish, but the ones with the
skin take it for yourselves to eat and you will know the
difference in taste.
10.Viva re Goa, hey I am coming so welcome me back all of
you out there. Because Goa is Goa, can there be anything
better, to have a relaxing holiday away from the hectic
life we lead for that Goa is the best.
If a goan reads this here is something for you.
Mogan asun bhorey. jeevit sukhi khorey, shetol kai chey vaarey
kalzan astey khorey. Borya moga so fo amka ditolo dau,
These words mean. It is good being in love, because life
is true then as a cool wind is true to the heart.
God will give the benefits of true love.
I bid you a Good night and sweet dreams.
Sushama
