Things are very different here, no one bats an eyelid at what they class as the norm, especially in the cities. I refer to belching,coughing, spitting in the street, sneezing and lastly farting. Absolutely anything goes. I was walking through Mumbai airport when an old guy in white robes in front of me let one go, a rippler in fact. Himself says it must be great to fart with impunity without the worry of a follow through - this ladies must be a man thing, having never experienced anything like this myself:)
The sneezing has been a concern. The old saying coughs and sneezes spread diseases rings true. We have been concerned while in the north about the swine flu epidemic there have been 13,000 cases and 774 deaths. The Japanese as usual are all wearing face masks. Fortunately there are only a few cases in Goa so it's good to be back. We were not unduly worried having both had flu jabs with Tamiflu added before we came to India.
Back to sunny laid back, clean Goa, and while on the beach today a mum with her two kids erected this tightrope, she played on the drum, little girl walked the rope, she was only about 6 and the little boy who had a painted curly moustache aged about 4 came round with the hat. Great family teamwork.
Anyone for jelly?The sea is just like a warm bath, crystal clear, but today I was just getting out of the water when a Russian lady who has a place near us shouted me to get out quickly and this was right behind me. I don't know what make or model it is, I've never seen one as big it was about 24 inches across and was still moving. Being a complete wus, I didn't go back in, I decided the pool would do today.
Thanks today to John & Denise for the English Cheddar & French dressing xx😊 missing you already!
