They mentioned that there was a lot of corruption, that you were often befriended as an opportunity to rip you off, and that the police could not be trusted, in fact they suggested that if the police try to stop you to drive at them!
This I find incredulous but can anyone advise us. Is Goa safe to live in. I have visions of being robbed as I get off the plane. I am really disappointed as we were so looking forward to our trip there.
Hi - well I am sitting here in Goa as we speak. There will be no problems for you here! My partner and I have lived here for over a year now. The politics for buying property or starting a business is a different kettle of fish but to come over as a tourist is as safe as can be. Enjoy it!!
