Glad you had a top old time :) I know what you mean about East meets West, I had Goan prawn Curry and to be honest I had better down on the beach for a third of the price. The place itself was lovely but I found the waiters to be very pushy with special offers and cocktails which almost made me walk out at one point, needless to say no tip was left.

We went to East meets West in Feb 05 and it was fabulous. We returned again in Feb 06 and I personally think it is very over rated. Gorgeous surroundings and a nice relaxed atmosphere but the food was very average,

Why did the customs officers ask for money?

Not really sure why the custom officers asked for money. We had been warned that they might ask but it was still abit scary!!

Anyway, more about the wedding.... :kiss
It was absolutely fantastic! It was at a place called Silver Bells, near Saligao-Pretty much in the middle of nowhere!!
It had a HUGE dancefloor and all the guests had to line up on 2 sides while the bride and groom walked around with the bridesmaids, we all had to throw polystyrene balls over them-most of them were stuck to or hands though!
The bride and groom had to stand in the middle of the dancefloor afterwards to cut the cake and two lovebirds flew out of the middle!!
How did 2 birds survive in the middle of a cake??
And the best bit about the wedding...FREE BAR!! :lol: All the waiters came around with crates filled with dfferent rows of drinks, you just helped yourself.
I already mentioned the speech which lasted for ever, plus we couldn't understand what was being said so we were the only ones not laughing at the funny bits :D
It was a really good night-one of many throughout the holiday! and not many people I know can claim to have been to a wedding in India :)
