why dont these guys stop over in bangkok for recreation. why come to goa? the only reason is - that we are all very sympathetic to anyone and these guys will get away with whatever they do in goa. i remember a few years ago - i was with friends at bogmalo beach and notice that the whole beach was full of british sailors - almost all of them drunk, abusive, some without their shirts and pants, some relieving themselves on the beach - shamefull sight - and they all got away with it. do all this in the UK and see what happens ...!!! do we need guests like these..????
