Goodbye Goa

I can't believe 3 whole weeks has passed since we arrived in Goa. Everything that was once so foreign has becom familiar and routine. Waking up each morning and walking in the HEAT to the hospital, joining the ward round, lunch at the hospital canteen (surprisingly good and cheap), skiving off as early as possible, and then rushing of to see the sights. Even the chaotic bus routes of Goa have become second nature to us and we are able to give directions to tourists! Walking back from the hospital is like walking through our "kampung", we stop every so often to talk to people we know along the way. We are indeed "almost a Goan".

I realise I haven't posted very much on Goa, and sorry no pictures (the internet is slow even when I'm only checking emails). I will definitely post some pictures when I get back. To sum up Goa, it is a place of sun and sand, good food, and most importantly friendly Goans.

We will be leaving Goa tomorrow for Delhi, which is supposed to be hotter than Goa. I have mixed feelings about leaving Goa. Keen to move on an explore another city, but knowing I will miss this one.

Hi,
I'm a medical student hoping to do an elective in Goa this summer but I'm having trouble organising it - if you could pass on any contact details you might have to help me organise my elective at a hospital in Goa I'd be really grateful.
Thanks,
Rhea

Hi,

I'm also a medical student struggling to arrange an elective in Goa next year. Are you able to provide any information about who you contacted and which hospital you went to?

Thanks,
Eloise
