Every day life

The last 2 days have consisted of me relaxing, reading and generally feeling like I'm on a tropical island. The rice paddies my room overlooks are full of birds and pigs sorting through the muck looking for the tasty stuff. I managed to buy 3 pairs of trousers for 950 ruppees which I think is a good price. I don't know if it is a good price but really if I think about it, I can't complain!

I also bought ayervedic face mask for 99 ruppees, I'm going to go broke shopping in india! But it will take me a while!

There are so many stray dogs around here! They're all wild and live un the rice paddies, eating left over food and waste from all the beach restaurants. Its quite terrifying seeing about 10 dogs siting in a pack, occasionally growling and snapping at passer-bys. I doubt they ever attack but they do look menacing!

so far, being a single female in india I have felt no more apprehension than I feel walking around in south africa. Maybe even slightly safety here in india! Sure people may try rip you off but why not, we have so much more money than them and if we're stupid enough, then we probably don't deserve to have that money!

Tomorrow I'll be leaving goa and head to gokarna, its come highly recommended by many people for both its temples and beaches.
