International Cuisine Conference on Traditional Asian Diet Panaji, Goa, September 2-5, 2007 - http://www.indologygoa.in Online Media Partner: http://www.goanet.org ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Before talking Cecil should try and cross by ferry during peak hours. all these months there were two ferries, now there is only one. One literally have to push yourself. I tried to be cautious and waited for the passengers/two-wheelers, cyclists, etc to come out before going in, I was left behind as there was no place, everyone pushing to get a place in the ferry including the two-wheelers. Earlier on, when the two-wheelers had to pay Rs. 2/- there were less of them, now that it is free, they just don;t have any courtesy or manners for the passengers. As I don't possess a car or a two-wheeler I find it very conveniente to cross, I'm not being economic. I could have easily bought a car and kept a driver, but thats not what I want. As public transport is conveniente, one takes that.
