I was just checking my email when an English girl, in here with her buddies, asked the owner "how do you say 'hello' in Indian". She wanted to put it in her email to seem exotic.
Now, from previous eavesdropping I knew she'd been here for two weeks.
The guy asked if she wanted to know what 'hello' is in Konkani, the language in Goa, or maybe in Hindi. No, she wanted to know what it was in 'Indian'.
Two things. How could she have been here for two weeks and not know:
a) There is more than one language in India, and 'Indian' is not one of them
b) How to say 'hello' where she's been staying?
But then, that's what Palolem's like.

**shaking his head slowly** Shame, English girl, shame. She must be a ladette, like on that TV show.
Bet she doesn't know how to use apostrophes correctly, either...
Bet she updates her blog regularly.

Bet she's not living in a cave.
Where are you, the himalayas? Goa spells internet cafes in "Indian".

Is it just me or are you not making any sense today?
