Goa 1994/5/6 & 2003 - India '96 - Goa 2009 - Goa 2012 - Goa 2013
I went to Goa in 1994 (and 95) and never came back (even though I returned home soon after) Goa is the best place on the planet, a few people have asked me what was there to do in Anjuna in 1994? The answer is: chill out!
One article in Mixmag (uk dance music magazine) changed my life. It was about places to go around in the world for a good party, and I liked the sound of Anjuna beach. Once I had been there for a year my life was never the same. Ever since I have dreamt of being back there...
The first two times I spent one year in India, six months each time over christmas and new year in 1994 & 1995. Going to Goa for two weeks it a waste of time. It is (was) a myth about constant techno parties, there are usually one or two a week, even if the police allow them at all.
Being in Goa is the whole experience: culture, chilling, parties, beach, India. Back then it was quiet and relaxed.
Returning in 2003 for two weeks: The Orange Boom and German Bakery are still
cool. Anjuna is a much more busy but not so much changed. The Shore Bar is
now a restaurant, not a techno bar and the Nine Bar in Vagator is the event
until 10pm then is is over to the Primrose until there is word of a party.
Oh and the Rose Garden Restaurant has shut down, they still provide B&B
but that is it. I hated returning for only two weeks, it is rather too busy
now and I am not sure how nice a long stay would be.
