Merv:
As a true Goencar, when my thirst buds need quenching, I hold off till I
return to the little taverna in my village, on the brink of the paddy fields
where the ambience is great, and where my friends Pedro and Forsu and Vaman
keep me company and make fun of me.
Somehow in such special company, the beer tastes better. And I still keep
giving these guys a free round of drinks. I guess I am a sucker for
punishment,
In Mapusa I used to frequent the Victory Bar in the Bazaar precincts
where the late ex-Tanzanian Mathew Braganza held court. But with him gone,
the place holds too many sad
memories for me. I have popped in at St. Xaviers Restaurant from time to
time to see if I
recognize anyone, but have not had much luck. All I usually see is a
bunch of well fed sunburnt turkeys !

Folks,
What's missing here is what is the er, coolest spot to
wash away the dust of the market. Yes, I am talking
about cold beers. Once upon a time, at least for E.
Africans, it used to be Casa Bela, then Bertsy's.....
Bwana Shenzi, which is the spot you now use?
