Why Me Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Interesting. Is there a large expat community in India/Goa? I had no idea. I know Goa is a popular tourist destination (particularly for Israelis after their service) but foreign residents? Would be curious to know the numbers.

Mahseer Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Give this a go. It's largely a travel site but find the relevant forum and fire away with what you seek and see how you get on: https://www.indiamike.com/india/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be popular with foreign tourists starting with the hippies and overland brigade but these days caters more for domestic tourists. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post toast1 Posted April 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 17, 2020 I remember when it was a quite little hippy hangout with nude beaches. You could only get there on a long bus journey, but it was a little cheap paradise where one could smoke a chillum on the beach and chill. Oh, how times have changed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never went to goa but spent about a year in the himachel pradesh( malana pulga vashist) and spent about year travelling north to south. As for outsmarting, maybe in booksmarts but there is a massive lack of common sense as far as I could see which borders on the insane. Take Varanasi as an example ... hoardes washing and brushing their teeth in the ganges near the burning ghats. Did'nt seem so smart to me as the river is full of floating dead bodies and people taking dumps in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1970s and the Hippie Trail when you could travel from Istanbul to Katmandu without dodging bullets or getting involved in civil unrest. Gone are the days. A post said "...white skins were not wanted" as Goa changed over the years. Maybe so, but Eight Finger Eddy stayed on and lived out his long life there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

izod10 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 The things regarding India,for me,are medical. Time after time I am amazed at costs here in Thailand,..not long ago quote 63000 T3 mri scan here,6000 there,..me? 450,000 baht for prostate reduction,there $700,mole removal and cancer screen here quote of 63,000 baht there 148 baht at least one tenth to one twentieth of Thailand's cost. Yes have to get there,...price of £149 return Bombay,80 return Calcutta before shutdown . Up the ass cancer scan,colonoscopy here 35000 to 45000 baht,there start 500 baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
