Betalbatim is a rather small village just off Majorda-Nuvem road, Nuvem being
my village. It has some links to the migration in East Africa, which spread
from Velsao to Betalbatim via marriage. But that small conurbation of villages
Betalbatim-Nuvem-Majorda is better known for its sea-faring links, most of the
young men here work onboard cruise ships, which has heralded a rise in living
standards without any real social mobility. Formerly this was the bakers belt
and then the sons took to the seas, occupations tend to be inherited,
university graduation low, population density up until, recent times low. All
this is changing as the area increasingly becomes a suburb of Margoa, with the
inevitable concretisation.
Wishing you success with your book. Selma

anecdotes about Betalbatim I request you to please share it with me.

Subject: Re: [GRN] Re: Upcoming conferences in Goa (November 2023)?
iWe couldn't verify the sender of this email.
On the topic, I thought I would go all the way to investigate one such event:
the covid-19 event that is supposedly taking place in Panjim on one page of
that conferences website, and then at The Flora Grand Hotel at Vasco da Gama.
It is mentioned that it is expected to be attended by 100-500 people and that
there will be... 200 speakers! On the list of speakers, there are about 2 dozen
names, most non-medical related, and all these names are repeated so that one
gets about 200 names! 🙂 I have messaged these organizers stating that I would
be interested in exhibiting. No reply. Then I have requested details, and
received an automated message with a link to a page.

on the web these days. They are scams to steal your money and never actually
happen. Please beware.
