Arambol is truly a lovely stretch of land and was discovered by the
'real' hippies who lived a 'back to nature' life in the hills and
respected nature, used the fresh water. They wanted to get away from
the bustling crowds of Calangute and Ajuna in the late 70s-80s. Twenty
years ago, it was rather scary walking from Morjim to Arambol and a
strange feeling to be alone at mid-day...not a soul in sight. The
scary part was crossing the stream.......I thought was a breeze but
was drenched all right.
Aye, the plastic chairs: ain't that Goan practicality and color?
The 'bad guys' aspect of this Goa's nth occupation (Goa has been
occupied by a variety of tourists from some smaller Moguls, Marathas,
Portuguese etc), do take a minute to listen to Misha Glenny, the
author of McMafia.

He is making his rounds these days and his slide show presentation, is
most interesting if you chance upon an opportunity to attend his
lectures/talks.
