what happens in goa stays in goa

hi people!haven't been blogging for a long time because I've been really busy. This is the start of a new week of posting. Am starting general surgery for 2 weeks with nathan and melvin. Did 2 days of community medicine last week. It's a posting where we had to take a van/bus out to the outskirts of bangalore and visit the people living in the rural areas. St. John's has a hospital called Mingalur hospital runned by their post-graduates and interns. It's fully supported by staff from St. John's although there are no full time nurses posted there. It's very interesting because after graduating from St. John's, the post-graduates must serve 2 years in the rural areas before getting their post-graduate degrees at St. John's for free.

Went to Goa over the weekend. It's a beautiful place with great beaches facing the Arabian sea. The waves are never ending, and there's always a wonderful sea breeze. The most interesting thing (i think) was the trip there and back. We took a 16 hour non-aircon sleeper coach from Bangalore to Goa. I've never taken anything like that in my entire life! It's a bus full of double decker beds on both sides. Quite comfortable if you are not feeling nauseated. I slept the entire way back this morning. It's a great and cheap way to travel.

I spent lots of time lazing on the beach. Did parasailing for 400Rs for a few short minutes but i think it's worth it! Super duper fun! Nathan went for jetskiing too! Did a small black henna tatoo on dolphins on my right ankle. Other than that, went to some night clubs there. The most interesting one is Club Cabbana. (dunnoe how to spell). It's up on a hill with swimming pools, couches and beds everywhere. Beautiful place. If u are visiting Goa, do check it out!

I think many things happened in goa but what happens in goa stays in goa! haha. sorry for the suspense. but i just had to add it in. actually nothing much happened lah...dun let your imaginations run wild! going for dinner soon! feel like eating california pizza kitchen!!
