My dear Goankars,
If Luisa has been visiting Goa as often as she claims she has, then she will
definitely tell you, that Goa used to be the only clean and green state of
India.
I am sure, she will now, also, be able to tell you, who is turning Goa into a
stinking, dirty, toilet, atleast it ain't (spelling OK??)- the Goans.
Goankars, please remember, that when stinky, dirty, people from certain places,
visit Goa, they ofcourse, want to create the same environment, that they have
"back home",hence, it is these people who are turning Goa into a stinky, dirty,
place and, not the Goankars.
Regards,

Hi Cornel,
I have been dipping in and out of Goanet for the past few years and I
subscribed again recently. I guess you are diplomatically asking if I have
legitimate ''Goan'' credentials :-)
I assure you that I do, despite my surname. I am a Goan and as a child I
went to Goa for six months of almost every year as my Mother was homesick
for Goa. This slowed down to every 2 - 3 years when the trips away began to
affect my education. Since young adulthood, I have visited Goa every 2
years, making in total some 20 something trips as an adult and since my late
parents moved back to Goa in 1979.
However back to the subject of sanitation and facilities-provision in Goa.
I think it is a shame that requests to improve these have gone unheeded. I
really dont know what else to suggest. Goa is just such a stunningly
beautiful country, it is a tragedy that more pride is not taken in
maintaining a hygienic environment.
Luisa
