Hi! today i start a new page of my life. it's just a new day when i realize the idea, which was inside the mind for a long time into reality. i strt this blog in English. I have one in russian for a long tima already, and i want to share events, memories and thoughts with those, for who russian is not common. so let's start.

Idea of 'cultural biriryani' came to my mind after some search for a name, which will show differences of  XP in India and which will not exist in huge blogspot database)
That's it. i want to fill it in with different things and moments, tasty and spicy. Why not?

First one will be about this weekend... Welcome to Holi in Goa!


If describe all of my weekend in one sentence, it will sound "Why not?" And the subsequent execution of what was requested)




So, we're going to the seaside! Where else to go for Holi and play with water guns. ‘We’ means me, Utkarsh and Martin. Three of us are united together with love to travel and search for adventures with a backpack, eating prawns in any form and cashew nuts in incommensurate quantities.

At this time, tickets are booked on the cheapest sitter bus. well, okay, course 12 o'clock is not very convenient, but with good conversation and movie time passes very quickly.

5 am bus is in the Mopsa (originally it - Mapusa, but the local population it quickly reduced to Mopsa) is filled with enterprising rickshaw and taxi drivers, who vowed to take you anywhere for the ‘reasonable’ price. The last time the guys have made contacts and now we are waiting for a man, who will give us a car for a rent. Our plan is simple - 3-4 far southern beaches - Palolem, Ohm and Paradise. Judging by the names and feedback - the places are simply mesmerizing. Let's check.

Meanwhile going to Calangute, we need to come back and buy return tickets. Despite the fact that Condolim, Calangute and Baga are one of the most famous beaches, they are very poluted. 7 am, the beach is full of vacationers interspersed with full bottles of drinks for the morning and taking empty bottles from yesterday's parties. Brrr ... Full of watching this beauty, going to Anjuna. , This beach is considered as haven for hippies and the like comrades. Probably because of the early morning hippies were not observed, but there was a large % of Russian-speaking population.

Booked tickets back. It’s amusing, because Monday ends Holi and people go home, the price of tickets increased by 2 times. And that's it. We find a budget version back - 3 seats at the end of the passenger compartment)

Hurray! We in Goa! And we are waiting Palolem! At maximum speed on the highway (here it is - 70 km / h we are flying toward adventure) Utkarsh has bad luck - for all his desire to teach me and Martin to understand the metal music, we can not find basic differences when he’s switching songs ...



Palolem. The beach is crowded with people, not as Calangute, but not so far. The main attractions are the rocks in the water and the island near the coast. We put a plan - to investigate signified. Holidays in Goa - it's not very expensive - room for 2-3x will cost from 100 to 500 rupees, depending on amenities and proximity to the sea. Each of the sets of houses has its restaurant, the menu which is replete with sea delicacies.

Throwing things in the room, we run to transparent and warm water ... Oh, what a pleasure to dive and swim, while you can, enjoy the sun and nature. By the way, we're flying - it is about me and Martin, Utkarsh not swim, which is characteristic of a very large % of the population of India.

The next step is to study of the island and rocks. Astonishing wealth of the sea world - shrimp, crabs, fish and the size of a different color slip right under your feet ... imagine a huge field of crabs ... you know, from the creators of "Attack of the Clones" and such films take their ideas ... pockets Utkarsh and Martin are filled in with my collection of shells…



Observation: the prices in restaurants second line in 2 times cheaper than the sea. Why would it?)) Platters of prawns - just real jam ... mmmm ....

According to the stories of those rocks are very good to watch the sunset ... on all cylinders to rush him ... the beauty, the sun is just fabulous walks into the water and finally warms its rays. It starts with the tide, where an additional 15 minutes ago, there was sand, now knee-deep water.

We stop in a restaurant in our complex, with conversation almost did not notice that our table quietly turns into a floating table on the veranda ... is watching the rising water level ... so cool)

Our room – 2xbed, toilet and shower + mosquito net in the form of tents.

It's funny ... While the three of us there is wonderfully estate)



Day 2. Rise up, the sea is waiting for you! Today is Holi. Blissful feeling is to dip in the gentle salt water of the Arabian Sea before breakfast and my male 2 \ 3 appear on the horizon. After breakfast, we obtain its strategic reserves of water cannons and paints. after 5 minutes white t-shirt of guys and my bathing suit were covered with different colors, even the hair could not escape this fate. As soon as I get pictures, to put up. After a simple putting and drawing colors, starts a war with water cannons. With all these we attract the attention of a large % of the population on the beach, which then join our fun. Passing tourists also have water pistols and paint! Super! True color is not washed immediately ... I still have pink in your hair strands.

The day flies to cheer - games and swimming in the sea + the finest shrimp from a restaurant.

Unfortunately at 4p.m. we need to get back to the pug. We drive at full speed - satisfied and happy. Replenish its strategic reserve of cashew nuts in the way! Conversations on the bus until late at night and again "3 idiots" on the screen. We already know this movie by heart ...

Pune, early morning ... somehow even incredibly ... We seek adventure for this Sunday ...


To be continued... )))
