Panaji is actually a nice, quiet little city. Not too many tourists and a lot of restaurants packed by locals. And if you thought restaurants in the beach were cheap, try here... A veg thali can be bought for 25Rs. Crazy.
I've also tried to have a soft landing to the western civilization and went to see a Hollywood movie
to a local theater. Not that there's anything wrong with Hindi as a language, but when people are speaking in English it makes the storyline amongst many other things that much clearer. And an interesting fact was that they played the Indian national anthem in the beginning of the movie and everyone was standing up. Not wanting to be disrespectful I jumped up also and for the duration of the song, the theater was interestingly calm. Funny, can't really see the same thing happening in Finland for example.
The duration of my stay in India can now be counted in hours rather than days. Sad in a sense but actually I'm quite glad to go home for a while.
