Golden beaches, fairy tale mansions and churches, wonderful food, friendly people and of course, feni - these are just a few of Goa's charms. with a history that spans 4000 years, goa is a culturaly rich land that most recently was a portugese colony. hence there is a blend of indian and latin culture in everything - religion, food, clothes, architecture. i wanted to get out of delhi and escape the craziness of holi, so goa was an obvious choice.
