For those Goan's who call us dregs I think Irish C you should demand that you are not British, I presume Irish.

When asked many times in Goa..... English? I say Scottish.... they say where is that..... that's when the fun starts.

I have arrived on many a flight from Germany, and only ever received the - Standard Dabolim Welcome -
I think this flight must have got special treatment, being the first charter to arrive in October.
x lassi

we arrived to a line of guards with guns it was my first time and i didnt know it was a military airport.

Ive arrived to the 'Dance of the porters' no flowers though

We arrived to the refrains of a mariachie (sp)? band once, but they weren't there to welcome us but a big group of runners from Ireland who were doing a charity run which I believe started in Goa.

Another year when we were queing in departures, the (then) Indian prime minister and his entourage walked through behind us, tv camera men filming the whole shebang! We had wondered why the roads leading to the airport were lined with policemen in nice crisp white uniforms.....we thought they were just coming to say goodbye
