The only way I'll get colourful and exotic scenes into this blog is by plagiarising other people's travels. In this case my daughter's. What a wonderful mix of ancient and modern.

I'm sure I remember people voicing the opinion that when the internet spread to the 'Third World' (inverted commas because I'm not sure India or Goa count as third world any more and am becoming increasing convinced WE are sliding into that postion anyway) there would be riots when they saw the way the rest of the world lives, or some such paranoia. I think they took the best from it in typically resourceful fashion.
