Zaharaa Residency Goa

... few days before heading south for a week, then back to baga for a week before home. it's been so nice to have them here, it's like a little bit of home here, and i do hope that i will get some more visitors soon some day, (hint, hint). <br>as far as the restaurant goes it's trucking along, they are building a new toilet, an outdoor bar has been built, and a lot of cleaning has been done. i was up there 2 days ago and told them ...

... and out kick each other, meanwhile everyone in the stands are cheering and egging their favourite soldier on, It's like something out of Monty Python! <br>Gary and I had an interesting experience, the girls had already gone through to the grandstand and we were held back by the soldiers and asked to discard of our food before entering, so we're searching around for a bin (where are they when you need them?) and we got dangerously close to the border, so we've got ...

... when you're at the beach, hehe. We began our stay at the first decent place we could find; read, the closest. The Ave Maria guesthouse was great because it had a great rooftop restaurant where people were always hanging out- I totally got my butt whooped in gin rummy by an awesome 72 year old woman traveling India alone. While we liked our place enough, the whole point is to be on the ocean! After exploring around a little, we realized there was another more tranquil area ...

... We didn't manage to get much sleep due to the numerous dogs barking, Dean sniffling with man flu and the guard hacking up phlegm in the chair next to us. We awoke to a freezing but beautiful dawn and hot coffee brought to us by a slightly confused waiter (Granpa, the lazy *******, was still not up!) As a room was not available until midday, we decided to take a stroll to the beach. After walking for 3 miles, we discovered that "one of the oldest and most ...

... set to loud Indian keyboard music, by two girls and two guys dressed in something that may have been traditional dress...maybe...and who looked like they'd learnt the dance that afternoon. In between these treats of traditional culture an MC tried to persuade different groups of the audience to get up on stage for dancing competitions to Indian disco music. We had a dancing chicken when the children went up, we had the 'I'm standing on a tea-tray' wiggle of ...

naive (adj.): 'Lacking worldly experience and understanding'. So Stephan and I were sitting in the departure lounge at Mumbai airport speculating on the nationality of a group of women sitting near us (we were both wrong: it seems that Sweden also has chavs). Anyway, an American woman in her late thirties with a slightly hippyish look came over and told us that she's going to a yoga retreat in Arambol in Goa but she'd lost the ...

... a hotel. you sign in to buy a train ticket. you show your passport to use the internet. you show your passport to send a piece of mail or to rent a scooter. a word of advice: memorize your passport number date of issue date of expiry visa number visa expiry visa date of issue. you need it to use the toilet. the selective hearing experience. my first week or two in india found me reaching new levels of friendliness as i'd take up a conversation with every indian who approached ...

... infact it didn't stop raining until a couple of days later when I was in Margoa waiting at the train station. Monday night saw like a mini-cyclone rip through bleak, damp Palolem. Earlier I had walked out ankle deep along the street to a nearby restaurant. A mistake with the umbrella proved costly and brief exposure to the rain resulted in a drenching. Amazingly - the power was ok and I spent a pleasant evening watching some stupid movie 'I Spy' with a few locals in the bar of ...

... about the Russian Mafia and how they were taking over Goa - apparently over 35% of the tourists in this area are Russian). We were so intrigued and have now made it our mission to find them. So far we have not found one but honestly we are not even sure what or who we are looking for - we are having a great time looking though - eye candy everywhere!!! We had the most amazing dinner last night also - and yes I got asked again why I looked like them - I AM ONE OF YOUS!!! So ...
