A Trip to the Postal Packing Centre

When a package is to be sent from India to another country, the contents need to be sewn into white canvas by an approved Parcel Packer. Once the final seam has been completed, both send and return addresses need to be written on the cloth in thick, black marker.  

Tip:  Make sure the inner wrapping is plastic to keep the marker from seeping through to the contents!

Poor Planning

This is what happens when you widen the roads without proper planning regarding electricity poles. There are now several of these hazards in North Goa, most of which have had reflective paper or white paint put on them by the locals (and a few of which have had shards of glass and bits of metal scattered around them by unaware drivers).

Mapusa Market Madness

Every Friday, whether it's the tourist high season or the midst of Monsoon, Mapusa Market is filled with spices, produce, household goods, fish, flowers, clothes, decorations, baubles...  and people.  Lots and lots of people.  Some of 'em driving through the narrow, crowded pathways on motorbikes.  Not cool.
