My Observations on the Israeli Tourist
the government is doing nothing and people are annoyed with the
government.
Night Life
At night they hang around in groups as usual. Then they make a fire and
sit around it. They laugh and make fun and when they feel tired they go
to sleep. Some locals told me that when the Israelis come to ask for a
room; they hesitate to give because when they come they come alone but
at night the whole group comes to that room and the whole night they are
busy chatting and making noise which disturbs the other tourists.
At The Police Station
Two of us visited a police station and interviewed the police. The police
say that so far there are no cases filed against the Israeli tourists
concerning any thing. When asked about drug business, they said that
the tourist can carry certain amount of drugs. They also confirmed the fact
that there is a drug business but so far no one is caught. They also added
that they go for patrolling twice a day. My assumption was that the police
are also involved in this game of corruption. The Israelis give them some
money to not intervene, because the police know about their bad activities
and yet there is no case filed.
Conclusion
It was an eye opener to me about the Goan reality. The Israelis don’t
contribute anything to Goan economy. They expect the maximum benefit
from minimum expenses.
