Chavi Matches

Chavi Matches

Haven’t found any sign of this louchness I was told about.
Found the Chavi Matches though.

The indians leave them in your rooms along with candles for when the electricity goes off, which happens regularly in Goa. #

Here’s the matches.

So this is what Goa looks like

So this is what Goa looks like

Old Goa Monastery
Dudhsagar Falls
Anjuna Goa

Anjuna
This last picture is where they have all the hippy parties with the pro’s and con’s of hippy influence, it’s called Anjuna.

The others are Dudhsagar Falls, a freshwater stream flows down providing a suitable swimming space making for a good day out if you get bored of the beach.
If you give the monkeys food here they will feed it to the fish in the pool, I guess the indians have trained them to do this.
Crazy monkeys.

Trip
Cost me 300 which is about 3 quid. I had a bike to get up there and the indians are really crazy drivers but I was cool with that because I have been to Spain also. Plus the motorbike keeps you cool, let off stream, shout at the monkeys and do all those other things you can’t do in the car. Bikes are dangerous and you shouldn’t tell your mother if you’re going to get one. They don’t have insurance. If you smash into someone in India I’m not sure what happens. I think you just drive off and hope they get up. Didn’t really look into it.

Old
The picture at the top is one of the churchs in ‘Old Goa’ which might take you a chunk of a day to get to and wonder round.

License Fee Riots

License Fee Riots

Why do we brits pay this scandalous and should be illegal tax.

If the license fee were introduced tomorrow by the labour government;

1) You (the electorate) Have To pay for channels on your Television (by law).

2) Once you’ve paid your money, we take it off you, (cash, cheque or direct debit), the money goes to one of the worlds biggest corporations. Ok?

3) You have no say, no buy or leave, no choice.

No value if you, like me, never watch the BBC.

Rights?
Where are our civil rights?

With the advent of Hard Drive recording spelling the effective end of the five minute AD break, we have ALL channels on a level playing field, except for one.

If the independents are doing it better, our government should remove this tax, harking back to bygone technologies and trading conditions ,and introduce something which reflects the environment in which our broadcasting and media companies have to operate today.

Louche

Louche

Louche place

Despite being described as a ‘louche’ destination, I’m taking a holiday, my first package holiday I might add, in that louche place; Goa.

Despite it’s loucheness, I like curry, parties and the chance I might get my dick wet for the winter season.

Beach bars combined with all sorts of India karma shall wash over, refreshing me for the challenge ahead.

More later.
