goa part 3

welcome back home me ! to the other home. anjuna area. babal came to pick me up at panjim (~30km from anjuna) in the morning with his friend and a car. im so lucky to know this guy, he is awesome. we had breakfast on the way and babals dessert in the car.

we drove straight to funky monkey where he works. johan was there also. funky monkey is a dorm hostel, my bed was a mattress upstairs with nine other mattresses in the room. the entrance chill out area is cool, after that there are two rooms of beds and stairs upstairs, after that there's a luxus bathroom, a normal one, washing machine corridor, kitchen and terrace and backyard area. and in the backyard there are two bathrooms more. really nice place and the people who work there are awesome too.

babal, max, ummm... and johan

hammock time

the first night was full power welcome home. after chilling out at fm with johan and babal, i went to shiva valley (mostly sidekick trance) with one guy from the hostel but lost him right after because i went to look for max. max came there with two guys from qatar and we danced full power for a few hours. max and i left around 3am to chill out in a three-room tent and slept there for a few hours. next days were much more easy. i went with babal everyday to hang out with the locals i met the last time. and we hung out with max and qatars (abbas and abood) at max's work, heidi's beer garden, i also saw his dog ginger ♡. one night we all went to lilliput for a dance.

max, johan, abood, abbas, me, babal

awesome guys

i really like hanging out with locals. they are so different than other travellers. they have this own lifestyle and own social culture it's so nice to be a part of it. same in varkala, it's more interesting with locals because it's their life here. and they all have different lives like families and jobs etc. travellers are just travelling and mostly hanging out with other travellers.. also it's cool that in goa there are many indian travellers.
