Shop's in Thailand & India

The first photo is from a 7 Eleven store in Thailand, in Kamala Beach in the tourist island of Phuket.

There you could found a hot sandwich and a cold drink for a little less than 1 Euro. And a lot of other stuff that you need on a daily basis.

And here you have a shopping street in India, in Goa, a completely diffrent place, but you still had a lot of options to shop.

One more shop

Here you have another shop in Goa, a wholesale trader and he got almost anything for sale.

The shop is in the small "town"of Cansaulim in south Goa in India.

And here you have the butcher in Cansaulim. A very happy one that show what you can get there.

Elephants from India

I really love elephants. In real life and in wood, stone or whatever material they can be made of, like souvenirs of India.

Like these lovely ones I saw in Goa.  They thend to like when things glitters in India. So sweet!

Vegetables for sale

Here we are back in India again, talking about the food I ate when I was in Goa. A lot of veggies, all sorts and in all it's forms.

This pic show the little market in Cansaulim, in soth Goa. A man selling all kind of vegetables. Veggies that later become currys.

Nice hot dishes. So to make a a curry you need spices. Like this ones, also for sale in India.

Fotball and pineapple

More from Goa in India, I am in Cansaulim in these pictures. A small "town" in the south.

Here you have the big stadium of Cansaulim, a place where all the local Goans gather on weekends to watch a game of football, or soccer as you call it in USA.

And outside the stadium you can buy yourself a pineapple as a snack for the game. Or something else, like a cold coke, from this vendor.

Walk to the beach

This was the view that I say on my way to the beach from my hotel Heritage Village club in Goa.

I was not a long walk and it was nice and shady too. But these where some friendly dogs...

Here is the one and only place on the beach - a shack that served cold drinks, good food and rented out sunbeds for the day.

Beach hut

More from my recent trip to Goa in India, here is a photo from the beach in the south Goa, like it when You are almost alone in the sand.

Just this one beach hut, occupied by a man with a big tan, and a bigger beach hut  - one that served food and cold beers.

More tiles from Goa

Love, love tiles, and in Goa there was a lot of them. This is just frpm my hotel Hertiage Village in south Goa in India.

First we have the stairs up to my room on the first floor. Small fishes in blue.

Then we have this single one, handpainted on the ground floor, just outside the lobby, in the patio.

Flowers and tiles

In my hotel in Goa, Hotel Heritage Village club, you could find this in the hotel lobby. Every day different flowers and some incense. Goa in India has been Portugese...

And look at the tiles. The hand painted tiles was all over the hotel, like this ones in the lobby.

Indian spices

Lote the Indian cuisine, ginger, garam masala, tumeric, cumin, hot red pepper, tamarind, cinnamon and then all the diffrent types of curry.

It is spicy and it's sweet and sour. Served with rice. So yiu really should by some to take home!

Missing the sun and pool...

Today it has been snowing the whole day here in Sweden. Hate it! But that is what you get this time a year here in the north.

So I must say I miss the sun in India, and the pool you can see here in the pic. From Hotel Heritage Club in south Goa.

As a reminder, it looks like this, here in Sweden now...

Colors of India

I really love the colors in Goa, in India, all the tinhs you could buy, and not expemsive either.

The shopping was amazing if you like this sort of things, in all different colors.

These are just some examples of what you could buy for your home, like curtains or tablecloths, and much much more. A lot of it with lovely bling blings...

Hot pepper for sale

Red pepper is a very common spice in India and there is a lot of people selling it everywhere. Like this man on a strret in Goa.

And it's a lot of it, as you can see here in the pic from Cansaulim.

And here is a lady that came to a "shop" where they can polish their rice so they can either use it themselves or sell it to others on the market.

Street view in Goa

This is another picture from Cansaulim in south Goa, a street in that little Indian "town".

Always a bit of smoke in the air that comes from all the fire's that is going on everywhere. To burn all their garbage...

And then we have a little shop that also is a "tea house" or a bar, where you can have a cup of tea or a soda while shopping.

An Indian curry

Love, love the Indian food, curries and all the rest. At my hotel Heritage Village in Goa we had a delicious buffet with a lot of veggie dishes.

Here is one - an indian "dals" from the buffet. Vegetarian and very, very spicy and good.

And here is my plate another day, with a lot of Indian goodies.

Fish & Meat

Fishmarket and a butcher, here you have some other pictures from the little "town" of Cansaulim in Goa, India.

First one is a small fish market where some local women sell the fish that there husbands got during the early morning.

And then we have a local butcher, look at the head he has to sell....

Walking in Cansauilm

When in Goa you have to see a bit of the normal indian life, and one day I walkes to the little "town" of Cansaulim in south Goa.

Here is one scene from a busy street in Cansaulim. People going and coming to the market to sell or by goods.

Here in one sign from that street, a shop - a pork stall - that only sell corruption free.

Santa is still in Goa

Here is what I found during one walk in south of Goa in India, a Santa. In January he is still around.

He looks happy, but he is in a very sunny spot. Not at all like the North Pole...

And here is another photo of Goa, my hotel Heritage Village club, and a glimpse of their pool.

Green Goa

It's not only nice beaches an warm sea in Goa, there is also a lot of lovely nature to explore. Just outside my hotel you could walk in this green forrest, or djungle.

And then another photo of the beach, in another direction - to the south. Not so many people here.

Leaving footprints in the sand. Walking in the sun - in India.

Back from India

Just came back from a very relaxing holiday in India. I have spent a week in south Goa. Sunny, hot and interesting.

Here is a pic of the beach just close to my hotel. A lot of sand, hot sea water and almost empty. But in the end of the beach was a terribly ugly factory or industrial plant, you can hardly see it in the photo.

So I give you another pic from India, a beautiful sunset. With palm trees and a red big sun going down in the sea.
