New Year's Eve in GOA

I left for Goa with some other 30+ people on 30th of Dec and came back just yesterday. It's impossible and it's a shame, but I haven't taken a single picture being in Goa. I'll try to get some from my friends later and update this post.

To start with, Goa is nothing I expected. Nothing I could imagine, and still felt familiar and as if I have been there before. As per overall stereotype Goa is "a place to be for the new year's eve", is " all about drugs-sex-rave", is "people high on weed and hash throwing up on the beach". I thought it would be exhausting. In reality it was chilled out, very much chilled out.

"a place to be for the new year's eve" didn't happen because I literally couldn't feel this ny's eve when it's +35C outside. I kept on forgetting about it before 12 am and I forgot that the new year began right after 12am.

"drugs-sex-rave" didn't happen due to different reasons. Perhaps I wan't looking like looking for drugs, so none of the drugdealers approached me at all for all 5 days of stay. From what I heard "you can't walk 10 meters in Goa without being offered some weed"- never happened to me!

Sex was rather something you'd initiate than coming naturally with the wind thing.

And I don't know where all the rave parties were held, but I heard anything but rave in there. Which is still fine, as I am not a big fan.

"people high on weed and hash throwing up on the beach": people were throwing up a lot, A LOT, but the reason was too much heat, not alcohol or bad food or smoking.

That's basically it.

Just few more things: we spent a lot of time on the scooter, driving around from one beach to another. It was awesome!

There are really tons of Russians. That's one of the stereotypes about Goa which is correct.

Pictures with (more interesting) comments to follow.
