Wow, Rs7,000 per adult for a night out in Goa on New Year's Eve.
That's how much it would cost for a similar occasion in a plush Toronto
venue (for example the Royal York).
And here we are talking about dirt and poverty in India and how western
tourists should not misunderstand it all. Personally I don't see why if Goa
charges what Toronto does, they cannot keep the place as clean as Toronto
does!
OK, I forgot - there are two Hindustans. The one of Rs7000 an evening at
Cidade de Goa and the one of a five-rupee tea at Café Prakash. And the good
thing is the average Goan can move freely from one to the other.
Hurrah for progress.
Roland
Toronto.
