Tips to help you chose the best location in Goa Well, I hear a lot of questions from tourists asking which part of Goa should they visit, or locally stay, if they have a tight itinerary.

It is stupefying and lethal. Hence, it is taken with a slice of green chilli and a wedge of lime dunked in the glass. There are other alternatives to it as well.  Urak  is the unfiltered version of Feni and makes up about half the percentage of alcohol content than Feni. They are almost similar in taste, but only a regular drinker can distinguish among the two.

The tradition was still alive among the inhabitants and they cherished it

If you think that every wedding is meant to be that way and there is nothing different about a Goan wedding, please, for once, attend it. To begin with, the amount of crowd present for a typical Christian wedding is enormous. The entourage consists of hoards of cars and they reserve special buses for the purpose of transit for the nuptials and reception.
