i dont know when. they only refered to it the scarlett murder or something like that. since it made a lot of noise in international media they didn't want it to affect tourism so they started cracking down on parties / drugs. and of course its the locals who paid the price. even now we went to one place that was russian owned and they treated my friend who was local like scum so we made noise and got kicked out .. onto a beautiful beach :0/
i heard about the airport and for sure its gonna commercialize things even more. it seems to be moving towards an indian ibiza blow your whistle . but theres always gonna be the other side. i heard about one place that also starts with a go cant remember but apparently thats where the whole movement started before shifting to goa? my friend wanted to take me there but not enough time
i heard a lot of talk about how it used to be and how the good old days and this and that but i was 300% satisfied. its a beautiful place. but there are so many places in india i heard about that are also .
have you been to nepal? i went to a festival last year somewhere in the hills of kathmandhu . i couldn't even speak when i saw the sun come up. this year i was gonna play there but the main organizer died a month before and festival got cancelled
one thing though i learned was don't drink the local water!! i was good about it the whole trip but on the bus ride back from goa we stopped somewhere for food and i washed it down with a cup of water. i figured if i lasted this long with the food i'm super man . 6 days later i'm still pissing out my ass :0
