Anjuna is world famous for its trance parties held on the beach during the tourist season. Anjuna also hosts the famous flea market (Every Wednesday) wherein you can purchase many things, ranging from fruits to jewelry, clothes and electronic devices.

i was last there thou in 1983 so am sure it has grown.
we had a bungalow on the beach for 25 rps /night.
all we did was smoke ( we had brought down abut 300 grms of different shit from Nepal) an drink the local brew and swim.

Flights to Goa, India and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia are about the same price during this holiday (about $460, return).

Which one should I go to? Will be booking a ticket in the next day or 2.

Goa sounds wild and crazy, but I recall hearing negative shit about the place recently.

If you've been to both, great! If you've only been to one or have just heard about the places, I'd also like to get your feedback.

:assassin:

Goa your love ..this was the view from my hotel room in Vagator...wicked place.. you must go

Vagator is the place very chilled but close to everything...hire an Royal Enfield...i wish it was me going

Was in Mumbai, Colva (?) and Addis Ababa last year. Keep in mind that we are talking about a major metropolitan center, one a sleepy seaside village near Margao, and one a capital city of a dump of a nation, so I am comparing apples with er apple-oranges, and oranges.

These are the only real positives of Addis Ababa (although the 7 foot tall Sudanese girls are an interesting proposition)?

You had teenage boys spit on you there?

And where on earth is Colva?
