From what I've heard from a couple of friends already in Goa, "several" is quite aptly used here. two weeks from now I shall know firsthand.:thumbsup:

Wow some opulent feast!

"tables, which doubled as a runway, compete with chandeliers, opulent candle-sticks -"

I must fly from the wrong airports, I've never seen chandeliers and candlesticks on the runway!
(and what a load of ugly models).

Fun film about Indian village life. Suitable for children with some history as well. Available on DVD so they can get it for themselves.

Am I missing something, the article included this statement:
'However, the two-month gap for re-entry may be a hindrance unless the Indian government relaxes the visa norms as they did in the case of UK and US tourists'.
where did this information come from? is it wishful thinking?
