Locals and travellers together
Goa Chat brings together people from Panaji, Margao, Vasco and Mapusa with the many Goans working in the Gulf, the UK and on ships around the world. Travellers planning a visit are welcome too, and locals are generous with honest advice. Konkani, English and Hindi are all common.
The pace here is relaxed. Nobody is in a hurry, which is very Goan.
Beaches, feni and festivals
North versus South Goa debates, monsoon trips to waterfalls, Carnival and Shigmo, Christmas in the villages, fish curry rice, bebinca and the best beach shack that is not on any list.
