acronym for 'been in India too long'. A week ago I didn't understand
that concept. Having arrived in Goa, it makes so much sense. Goa is
the place were backpacking hippies stop into town for 2 nights and end
up staying 10 years. Within 24 hours of arriving we've made about 15
new friends from all around the world and have all ended up extending
their stays. It's amazing. The waves are absolutely perfect for
boogie boarding and makes you feel like a kid again. The palm trees
are thick and the ocean breeze could not feel any better.
Conversations are always interesting partly due to some of the
mis-communications from all the different accents. Last night a
french guy was explaining to me and an English guy how his dad used to
be a rocker and wear tons of "lazer"... after about 5 minutes the
English guy figured out what he was trying to say and said to me,
"oooooh i see i see.. it's 'lever'.. his dad wore tons of 'lever'"...
then about 5 minutes later I finally realized he was saying "leather"
and then it made a lot more sense. We ate dinner and drank on the
beach after sundown and headed the silent disco around midnight. I'm
totally bringing this concept back to the states. It may have been
one of the best nights of dancing I've ever had. Four days is not
long enough here.
