My experience in Goa can be summarised as follows :
1) Indians who come to visit goa are given third class treatment by the locals as compared to the treatment they give to firangis.
2) The only business in Goa seems to be tourism as each and every Tom, Dick and Harry has a bike of his own to give out on rent.
3) Luckily, I stayed in Royal Palms, so the place where we were staying was great. But outside the hotel, everyone is drunk. It is as if people cannot drive properly without being drunk. IMO being drunk once in a while is okay , but constantly being drunk is bad.
4) Well, the police never catch a firang without a helmet, but we got caught. That made my trip real great. Plus, the person who rented me the bike did not include 2-3 papers in it, so basically it was "500 Rupees ka fatka".
5) My suggestion is that, if you want to go to goa, use a tourist service like Raj Travels or some cheaper local service. That way you wont get too much looted.
