Monsoon Masala

Chances are you've never experienced anything like the monsoon in Goa. The downpours are heavy and sudden, and the drops so huge and close together it's as if someone is throwing buckets of water on you from a second floor window. The rain may last for days or a mere 30 minutes, disappearing as quickly as it came. Even so, if you're in Goa during a rainy spell, don't let it slow you down. Wear your flip-flops, bring an umbrella, and carry on as the Indians do.
