About India

Today, one can not reliably explain where the name of the famous Indian resort, but the existing version, allow us to consider the different sources of origin. Perhaps, Goa comes from the name in the Indian epic Mahabharata, Gomantak, which means "paradise." Creek birds phonetic resemblance to the word, is issued by local natives, for the source of origin. Someone believes that to blame the Portuguese colonists. There is a version, even, that the name of the breed "Indian sacred cow" of course, in the category of "eternal values" rather than the laying down of the "sacred" m on my way. In general, it is precisely the science is not known. It is known - more. This staff. The former Portuguese colony with its corresponding atavism. For example, a large number of Catholic churches in the state. As well as the names of a number of Portuguese, left over from the Portuguese, including the Vasco da Gamma. As such cultural "Taj Mahal" you will find here are not. The main treasure of this resort - Ocean and beaches. Good beaches, not crap locals, because of the global tourist pilgrimage. In many ways, it can be said that the GOA - not India. In addition to the tourism distinguish Goa, as the South and the North. Cultural, national or climatic differences between them, it comes down only to the quality of the hotel. In the south, they are "fatter" and steeper and closer to the water.
But there is one important difference. If you have been, and still have, somewhere in my heart, hippies, you in the Arambol village (North Goa). Living in this place for a cheap and rent an apartment for $ 6 a day, is not the cheapest offer. Very often, Western tourists, before reaching Goa, the first day, without reservation, arrive at a desired removal and leisurely stroll. Within half an hour (or less), they choose on your budget and taste, any of a variety of ads for the surrender of apartments, bungalows or hotel rooms, hung on every corner.
Since the late 60's in Goa has directed a large number of hippies. Many of them subsequently settled here. Goa is a place of pilgrimage for fans of "Goa trance" from around the world. It is still going for the spirit of the seventies, with the party in the hippie style of yoga on the beach, with the view to play the drum or the Indian sitar. And most importantly, to meet the Sunset kazhly evening, or sunset. "Sunset Beach" is now the traditional ideology of the evening beach parties. All in hippie style or "Make love, not war". That's where it would not hurt to ride, politicians.
In conclusion, you can add: Goa no worse and no better than, for example, Thailand. He's just different. In life, the resort is simpler and cheaper than similar stay at the Thai islands. Fruits and vegetables in Goa are abundant. Naturally Goa, trade birthplace of spices, it is - a sharp kitchen. The European kitchen is rare and it is better, it is not to try. Very nice beaches, fine white sand, the business card of this resort. Therefore, clear water and abundant oceanic animals, lacking both natural phenomena. But they caught stingray or jellyfish swimsuit. In a word, everywhere has its advantages. Therefore, better taste, ride, swim in the ocean and relax on the beach every evening get-together, noting his own Sunset.
