 Ok Enough ...We Get The Picture!!!! 

Please will you stop posting anymore stories about BAG SNATCHING - POLICE CORRUPTION - CRIME RATES - BARKING DOGS!!!

I'm off to Goa in March for my first visit and i can't sleep because i'm so excited to see what 99% of you say is a beautiful and amazing place

I visit Trip Advisor everyday and read all your amazing and helpful posts and have asked so many questions and recieved so many helpful tips and i'm truely sold on Goa

Just lately it's getting all a little negative and i just wanted to ask all you Goa lovers to do one small thing for all us newbies on here who like me can't wait to get there and see what it's all about

PLEASE ALL YOU POSTERS!!! will you all post the one thing you like best about Goa and i mean that one thing that you love THAT MAKES YOU RETURN YEAR AFTER YEAR TO GOA??? there could be a few things you love and i'm sure all the newbies including me would love to here what it is i mean apart from the BOOZE!

Can i just say to all thoses people who have been a victim of crime how sorry i am to hear that and i hope you're all ok now and getting on with your life again as normal ..and yes it must be awful to find yourself in any position where you feel helpless and alone especially in a foriegn country!!

But i'm afraid crime is a Disease of the world and to be honest all foreigners are Vulnerable abroad ..i was lucky enough to live in Barbados for 3 years and it happens there as well but i wasn't put off holidaying there over 13 times also i have just returned from living in STALIS in CRETE for the past 6 years and they have more than all of the above!!!

So POSTERS lets hear that 1special thing from all of you that makes you love Goa so much!!!!???????

52 DAYS TO GO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO : )

Thats the spirit Street, lets get some positiveness going : )

Hollergrafik I am agreeing with you on your list plus

The food

The warm friendly people

The slow pace of life

The tuk tuks ( cant get through the holiday without a ride/s )

cheap food

The smells even the beep beep of the taxis

and on and on and on....

Got to love it just thinking of Goa brings a lovely warm feeling inside of me - last year we said we would try somewhere new but we succombed to Goa yet again. its magical - im sure you will love it and may even end up being bitten by the Goa bug.

Enjoy!!

Thank you very much for your post, four of us are going to candolim in March for our first visit to goa, before christmas everything on the forum sounded exciting and fun, so we booked a holiday for my wife's 40th, since booking it sounds like it's all gone down hill.

Like you i read the forum every day and am so giddy it's not true,

let's read positives at least till we get on the plane.

Thanks Mark.

I think you will realise by the replies you have had so far, no one will be able to tell you what that ONE thing is that makes Goa so special...

Everything thats been mentioned so far,the people, the weather, the smells, the cows, the trafiic, the hustle n bustle,beach sellers, beach shacks, the quite beaches,the food, the 1 star hotels, the buses, the Indian railway.the red dust.....the list goes on and on.

I haven't even mentioned the flora and fauna..

Have a great holiday & I look forward to hearing about the one thing that you think makes Goa special, once you get back!

We love

The warmth of the people

Delicious Seafood

Deserted as well as Busy Beaches

And the best thing for me is, sitting in a road side cafe, sipping fresh ginger tea and just watch the world go by.
