The night market at Arpora is quite something – full of colours, smells and decoratively placed items for sale. There’s food available from all over the world courtesy of the international ex-pat community. The music was provided by Indian band playing indie rock music! View photos Night market

Goan Marmite
You gotta go to Goa: they sell Marmite! 😄😋
Bovine mafia
I loved the cows casually walking around the market as if they owned the place – like mafia bosses accepting “gratuities”! The women selling bananas said to the cow after giving some food, “OK you can go now, he’s taken the photo”! View photos Bovine mafia
