Someone here in Goa really had an Indian stroke of genius when they decided to put an internet cafe inside the train station. Travelling on trains is definitely the best way to go here, they are affordable and comfortable, but they are reliably unreliable. It's safe to say that every train we've ever taken has been around or at least 2 hours late. So a place for killing time in a time wasted zone is a lifesaver.

So Goa is nice, I think we made the most of it quite well. We had a beach craving we needed to satisfy, and now that we have we can move on. Though Goa is not really like being in India, which is a good and a bad thing. When we first got here we were so relieved, food was realiably good-- my 3 weeks of diarrhea went away, people spoke better english-- now that just sounds awful and spoiled but let me clarify and digress... in India people HATE to say "i don't know" so instead when you ask a question and the person has no idea what you're saying they just say yes. Now eventually you get a little frustrated when it seems everyone in the country is steering you in the wrong direction just because they don't know how to acknowledge they don't know the answer. Some don't say yes and point you on further down the road, to the next person towards a cow, whatever. A straight answer is like gold and perhaps harder to come by.

So what I'm trying to say before I run out of time is that Goa is nice if you need a break of India or if you're one of the many tourists who come to India without actually wanting to come to India anyway. You can pay a lot for everything, spend all day at a abeach, and all night at a bar but right now I'm ready to get back to India on a two hour late train to Kerala.
