Quite so Andy, but top notch quality and on the "salary coversion", its comparable. It also recharges the batteries very quickly, which is the bugbear in Goa with multiple power cuts............also I got mine on ebay for a fraction of that price!

Alibaba.com are offering Honda LPG generators at 23,500 or £305. Output 405/505 max and they are made in Maharashtra too.Price does not include gas bottle and you have to prime them with petrol first but that's not too expensive to be independent completely from the vagaries of intermittent supply problems that plague Goa.

Admin thought we should be in the Far East Section! So if you want to put anything about other parts of India feel free.

I never thought India was in the Far East. Asia yes but not far enough east to be included in the term Far East.

I think Bipat might be referring to the "travelling in India from Goa" thread that should be on this forum clearly, to encourage folk to travel a bit, but for some stupid reason isn't?

Have I understood this right - there is an area that covers China. Hong Kong, Indonesia , Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, India, or elsewhere in the Far East & Asia but not Goa?

Yes! Goa has been under "Rest of the World"....Not Far East and Asia!
perhaps when the Goa link was set up it wasn`t recognised or realised it was part of india!Who knows?

A good question?

Just checked, The link I have always used to the Goa forum is where it has always been, in Rest of World. But you can also find it via Far East and Asia then India.

There never was an Indian forum (except for Goa) as far as I can see. It always seemed a bit odd to me. I think that Goa forum probably really got motoring before the whole of the Far East section and, even now, the other Asian countries have diddley-squat postings compared with Goa, where you guys just chat and chat and chat

Malaysia, Singapore and China forums are steadily increasing in posts n threads but we've got a long way to catch up with you guys.

Suspect that some folks didn't know that Goa was in India Don't you find you get that back in the UK sometimes? Okay... true story for you... when I used to live in Singapore and went back for a little trip to ol' Blighty and stayed in a crap hotel in Rayleigh, Essex. We filled out the registration card and the receptionist said <imagine EastEnders accent> Oooh, you live in Singapore? Awww luvverly...... <pause>.... Is that anywhere near Morocco? Honest, it actually happened.

What xxxxed me off today was...........

........having to deal with a lying cheating and deceitful con artist !

I loath these people who present themselves to the world as supposedly decent beings, loudly proclaiming themselves to be humble, honest and discerning, and are so good at it that people are taken in --- when actually those people execute a long term and elaborate plan to deceive their target for their own gain. Even worse is that these people get enjoyment and empowerment from the thrill of the pretence, going to quite extreme measures to achieve their dishonest goal, whilst deliberately ensuring maximum hurt to their trusting target.
Strangely enough these same lying scum always view themselves as the victim by twisting and warping the facts to cover up their own despicable behaviours - and boy oh boy, don't they just always have a ready excuse....blame it on the other person, parents didn;t love me, etc etc. (the usual tripe - usually just another elaborate lie in most cases!!)

These people are just self absorbed low lifes who think the world owes them !

I would prefer an armed robber to this type of scum !!!!

Apologies for the rant people - just one of those times when I needed to say what I think !!

Dread - Aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh -- that's better -

Have I missed something?..... brilliant rant, up there with the best.... but what are you on about, surely not the coconut pickers? If too much information, don't reply.
