December dragged me off to India for two weeks and it was my first time there. It was everything I have ever been told about and so much more. India is one of those places you have to experience to understand. It's madly busy and noisy but works with such precision that I never saw a traffic accident. Everyone looked like me but in a strange way, it felt wrong. I'm not used to bot being in a multicultural environment and it threw me.
We were also asked several yimes if ours was a "love marriage". Most marriages in India are not and showing any affection, even holding hands, gets you some strange looks. Everywhere has its quirks.
I haven't spoken about Goa in this podcast but I spent the last few days there. It's one large beach party. If you're ever there, find Calamari in Colaba and have the prawn curry. You'll thank me.
