I just stumbled upon this, very nice to read a trip report from an Indian Tourists viewpoint. The ogling of women and drink driving bit made me chuckle!!!!

Oh GFF that is so brilliant, i am reading it now and really enjoying it...isnt it strange hearing it from the other point of view... i love some of the phrases...the attendant...and 'the watchman with his most impudent gesture'...i can just hear it!! 
quite enlightening!!

quite enlightening!!chilly
That's made me smile! Not sure about the hotel being 'decent though...it's where i stayed but do agree about Infantaria 
read the first entry and it is really interesting. 
What a lovely report! Especially enjoyed the part where they tried to chat up women with pots of masala tea!! Wonder why they failed!! ha ha
The whole thing is just sweet and quite innocent. Lovely.

What a great read. That guy could be an author. Ooh, I'm determined to get to Goa next year
Nice read, good to hear their view of their own country compared to how we see it 
Loved it his style of writing is great could almost see it through his eyes especially the guys walking long the beach in their undies!!
Perfectly written ! any other links to other peoples views on Goa, please post them.

good idea. I loved the masala tea episode. In fact there are so many brilliant observations. We do have some Indians who have used our forum - pity we don't have more. Have to say you could cringe at parts of it - us as locals see us- and they are right.

Really enjoyed reading that and the photos are lovely.
Glad you all enjoyed reading, I bet the guy got a shock when you contacted him Chilly!!
Well Spike you asked for more so I've done a little digging and came up with the following which is from a backpackers point of view so also an interesting read.
Enjoy, GFF

Ouch......didnt like that one!! Typical of the reports on Goa from a lot of backpackers...just cant wait til the day shes a Big Red Lobster on the beach and someones writing about her 
Yeah thing about being young is you never think the years are going to creep up on you.I am only 46 but boy can I see how my view of things have changed since the days I knew everything and did not put an ounce of weight on ever.
