I've been to Goa, India for a few days while in the Navy. It was some of the worst conditions that I've ever seen with my own eyes. Like, there was a field of maybe 200 people living in make-shift tents. On the other hand, I stayed in the Hyatt, if I remember right, and it was heaven there. I didn't have to worry about my safety since I was in a group of military folk, but you won't be. So watch your back because there are some very shady people there just trying to make a quick buck.
