SOME TIME IN GOA YOU DO NOT FEEL THAT YOU ARE IN INDIA BEACAUSE :-
Medival churches, foreginer tourists and so many Bars.
It was my second visit to Goa after a gap of 26 years.I must say that my both trips are memorable.When I first visited Goa as teenage boy with my friends it was different. It was a 20 hour journey from Mumbai and we had change the train at Miarze as there was metergaze train for Madgaon that time.After 26 years much had change.Goa is now modren with all facilities of good road, rail and air transportation.Many new Bridges and good roads.I still rememeber there was only one restaurant for North Indian food near this capital church at Panjim but now there is huge market and many places where one choose the food place of his choice.Goa is beautiful with sea beaches, Medival churches, cheep drinks but only sad thing is that rampant construction is engulfing the tradtional villas and small villages near famous sea beaches are turning in to concrete jungles.Goa people are nice and friendly.

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:Beautiful beach, varaiety of food & friendly people
  • Cons:Rapmant construction every where
  • In a nutshell:A perfact place for holidays
  • Last visit to Goa: Dec 2007
