bollywood star

We left Goa with sadness. Goa is quite lovely. The relaxed atmosphere is enough to make anyone want to stay. Unfortunately due to political unrest on noise pollution or something, this is what i think they said, there was no silent disco, or no bands playing. huge bummer.
At dinner, at "CUBA BAR" i had a funny experience. Seeing as I am white, and blonde this is just the best thing in the world. It was odd though because Goa is filled with tourists. These 3 men from Punjab come up to me and ask me to take a picture. A regular occurance here. I told them they could have a picture for 100rbs. They laughed and laughed. They tried to convince me that their happiness was worth more than a 100rbs. Our waiter yelled at them so they left. Then they CAME BACK! We insist. just one photo! 100rbs, i said. They asked me what they could get for 500rbs...
um. a photo with all three of us.
Then one guy said, "what about a kiss?!"
I ALMOST DIED LAUGHING. I told him it would cost him $1,000,000 for a small kiss. The other guy said, one million kisses for one million dollars. (UMMM, let me think about that for just a second.. NO!) He goes on and tries to convince me his happiness is worth more than 100rbs or any amount of money. I told him, I am from western culture. Money is everything. hah (ok, not everything, but i needed them to leave) Then they parted. Very unhappy, and with no photo.
The train to Bombay was great. We were sitting with a family that had the most adorable kids ever. They shared their meals with us, and we just all had a great time together. the sleep was a bit rough, due to me being sick. I actually threw up on the train tracks. GOODIE. super sanitary. It was the first time in 6.5 years i got sick.
Once in Bombay we took a taxi to our hotel. It is a little grubby, but quite livable. The luxery I will consume when i come home! We did a little shopping, after my nap since i was sick. It is insane the "mam, my shop! come inside.' I can't imagine shopping in peace anymore. One man tried to get me to buy baby clothes.
"For your baby."
"I don't have a baby."
"Why not?"
Weirddd.
We went to the local cinema to watch some bollywood movie. This movie was sappy, dramatic, sad, sickness, a cruise.. it was just everything. Gotta love that good ol' bollywood.
Speaking of bollywood. I am actually on set right now for a bollywood music video. A bunch of us were picked off the street to be extras in a film. my dress is SO ugly and my make up is horrible! At the end of the day it was a great experience though. Still waiting to get on set. I've met some funny characters, and am really fully enjoying myself. This man from chicago, chris, interviewed us for his documentary back at home. So, i'll keep ya'll posted on when that is coming out on the net. Plus, i get paid 500rbs. and i dont have to kiss anyone. haha. WATCH OUT BOLLYWOOD, HERE I COME!
