it's still raining. i woke up in anjuna, decided it was more than time to leave and headed to panjim, the state's capital and former portuguese administrative centre.totally depressed by my stay at the beach, i decided it was time to upgrade and chose to stay on a beautiful restored heritage house, in the fontainhas neighbourhood, which i don't regret.
panjim is strangely quiet and orderly. there are more tourist here than in other places i've visited, but still not that many. everything is also strangely familiar with words and names in portuguese scattered through labels and stret signposts. it's as if i'm in a portuguese interior town that has been colonized by indian people.
i'm happier here and certainly happy to have left anjuna. although, i must say that the good thing about anjuna was to meet sauhard, tenzin and aadittya - is this spelled right? - with whom i watched the beautiful portugal-czech match.

Rain is not a problem in Panjim! The problem is when it starts raining cats and dogs after someone leaves...or when the most brillant players lose against the nightmare machine!
Fica bem!
