Viva Goa was a great event. We all enjoyed. I congratulate the organisers for an excellent job keep it up. Hope to see you next year.
I do not agree to Eugene's comment on food line ups. How can one expect fast food service for such a big gathering ? One has to line up even after paying $30 for a buffet and we are talking about Goan Food for $6. which you want to relish. Have you exhausted your patience.
