Well, the first thing that strikes you about this place is that's it's unlike anything you have ever seen in India- green and lush with beaches right by the western ghats . Lots of firangs all over the place. Many in the adventure mode- no shirt, dirty half pant , chappals and of course the backpack. Exploring the exotic,untamed lands of L'Inde .
So I arrived this afternoon on the Chennai-Vasco Express.Waited at the Vasco da Gama station for my dad as he had to pick up my bro first (who was coming from Bangalore by bus!!). I just walked around the station. Had a masala dosa, HUGE with LOADs of potato curry for 11 bucks. The same thing waould have costed 35 bucks in Chennai. So finally my dad picked me up at the Vasco da Gama train station and we drove down to the company guesthouse at Panjim/Panaji. He still hasn't realized that it isn't Malaysia. He ripped the car at 100 in the rain. Not exactly what I would do! But then I must say the road was pretty good.The road winds between the ghats and the sea. At times it's just a couple of metres from the water. Amazing! The drive was nice and cool, it was raining a bit and that just added to the fun.I desperately searched for some nice radio channel but only found one playig bhajans in Marathi ( i think!), so we played it anyway.
The best thing about the guesthouse is that it has cable! So, finally I can watch all the crap that I have missed out in Madras.But unfortunately Goa isn't known for it's super electricity supply, so got cut out in the middle of an episode of Will and Grace. Sigh.
