North Goa feels good because lots is in close periphery but it's tourist oriented. Which is good at times but not for long stays. We do have Goans as neighbours outside of the complex, but they're so lukewarm towards outsiders that I haven't managed to establish links with anyone. I agree that beach shacks are good to settle for fish and Kings (in our case). That's something to be happy about in North Goa -- lots of choice in places between Candolim/Baga to settle and gaze at the sea. Good to have a positive view of living in Goa.

Had fab experience with the locals in south Goa. North Goa was foriegner subservient and brown skin phobic even during those days..... But on the positive side, it has the old age charm about it. The beaches are clean and waters blue. Fish curry and feni in a beach shack was our staple diet those days. Stayed in naval base Dabolim for 3 years during the nineties.
