Goa, You made me fall in love with your beautiful
appearance, but boy, you don’t have a
very nice character. The beaches are very pretty and the area has everything it
needs to be an amazing holiday destination, being drenched in culture and
having great food. If not for the men. As Goa is a Christian province in India and
touristy I decided to take a chance and go for some sunbathing as I did not
even try in Mamallapuram as Graham was in the water all the time. It kind of ended
in tears. I have never felt so intimidated and insulted in my life, when Graham
went for a 10 minute swim groups of men walked up to me and the other girls
sunbathing there in our bikini and went pass us standing on 2 meters of us looking at
us. As I told them to go away as this was very rude, they merely smiled and
said, ‘I know’ with a sleazy grin on his face. The three other groups that
followed were armed with camera’s and took photo’s of us, after our abjections
and obviously not caring, I had it with so much rudeness. And the best of all was when I was on my way
home, I walked into a guy masturbating in the not so much hiding bushes, I mean
seriously? In broad day light? Kids walk pass there. My god! The women are
really nice here and there are very friendly men as well. But there is a group
that obviously got the wrong idea from the media about western women and how
you can behave towards them. Then again, there is a big group of Russian tourist
here on package holidays who obviously didn’t got the memo on how to dress appropriately
either. Walking around shopping in town in their bikini barely hiding the bare essentials.
They would be stared at even in Europe. Anyhow it’s time to get a move on
again.
