Hi Jim, yeah Panaji was great -we actually came to this area specially to visit it so that's why we weren't too concerned about the naff beach the night before. It's amazing how many two wheelers there are here and its really nice to see all the bike repair shops along the way. Thanks again for your kind words and the next one should be out this afternoon.

[@johnrushforth3988]

This video showed the first place that I would visit which is the coffee shop :) The buildings clearly have a Portuguese influence but seem to lack tiles which seem to be everywhere in Portugal. Looking forward to seeing the beaches that many people rave about. I bet they are not as good as the beaches you saw on the NC500 but you would not need a wetsuit to go for a dip.

[@SeanandEmily]

Never before have we been so happy to find a coffee shop!! Yeah you are right not enough tiles lol but the colours and balconies really did remind us of Lisbon. Some nice beaches coming up but as you say the beaches on the NC500 take some beating for shear rawness and untouched beauty (we loved Scotland!!)

Hey Sean & Emily, Nice to see you'll exploring a bit of Goa. From what I could see, the area you were riding around in is known as Fontainhas, which is known for its Portuguese architecture. A lot of the people working in Goa are migrants from Kartanaka esp and Maharashtra. Ride safe & tc.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi, yeah that’s right! We are really enjoying riding through villages without a plan. It’s great to experience this area 😊 Yeah one can really see the Portuguese influence -fascinating. Thanks for watching 😎👍🏻

[@RoyBarnes-v9p]

Hi Sean and Emily, another enjoyable video, I think you picked a good cafe for a coffee and bite to eat, it looks like a lot of places out there like cash only, does that include the local people have to pay by cash or just visitors from other countries? . Look forward to the next video, Best wishes from Roy in England 😊.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi Roy, thanks very much -always nice to hear you enjoyed the video. This Cafe was fantastic - might actually go down in the top 10 coffees of all time 😊 The local people use an electronic payment system on their phones (UPI) but foreigners need to link this with their passport to enable the use of a foreign bank and there are only certain places that can do this (like at the airport), as we didn't know about it until our credit cards were declined we have had to withdraw cash instead (fortunately our bank cards work here). The larger hotels do have separate card readers for foreign cards so it is possible just not very common. Thanks Roy, next one out this afternoon 😎👍

[@cjaikalobo345]

Amazing ! In Panjim , Fontainhas is a nice place to visit.

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks 😎🙏🏻

[@jeffhennings6579]

Nice Video guys roads are a little better but still crazy

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah big improvement on the roads! But yeah still not able to relax on the roads 🤣

[@paixetjustice]

At first, it is not easy to ride a motorbike in India. I started fifteen years ago by renting Honda Heros without brakes and with slick tires in Goa. But I learned a few things: First of all, in India as elsewhere, the only protection for the motorcyclist is constant attention. Second, you should absolutely avoid riding at night. However, it is not as dangerous as many people imagine because the average speed is much lower than in Europe, for example. And with a little practice, it is a lot of fun, and allows you to see the country much better. I particularly remember my best experience. It was on a RE Bullet 500 between Kochi and Trivandrum in Kerala, passing through small roads with very little traffic along the coast.Happy riding

[@SeanandEmily]

True that! There’s not a moment one can switch off -100% attention needed. It is indeed a lot of fun, however there’s lots of new cars and vehicles with high top speeds doing crazy overtaking manoeuvres and pushing their way through traffic which is accounting for high accident rates. Sounds like you had a great time and some fantastic rides 😎💪🏻

[@physiminds]

Lovely video. If you like old portuguese architecture, visit Old Goa and if you like old hindu Temples, you can also visit Ponda town. There are many temples in Ponda, Shri Nageshi Temple, Mangeshi Temple. Tambdi Surla is pre-Portuguese Temple away from the coastal regions of Goa.

Congratulations for recording this nice video on city of my birth, the princess of Asia , the 8 th richest town in India, a heritage city modeled after Lisbon and capital of Goa since AD 1843. The sunrise, sunset, moon rise , moon set seen from the city are breathtaking with a 8 km long exquisite waterfront, 4 kms public beach from Campo de Manuel or Campal to Caranzalem. Well done to capture the dynamic visual essence of city which is paying a heavy price due to ongoing Smarts City development works. Panaji is a city of intellectuals, poets, painters, photographers, writers, singers, dancers, footballers et al. You need to visit Krishnadas Shyama State Central library, Kala Akademy, Institute Menezes Braganza, Goa archives , Corporation market, 18 th June road popular with tourists, the Mahavir and Garcia de Orta garden, the beautiful Dnyansetu on Ourem creek and Yogasetu on Santa Inez creek and not to miss renovated Dona Paula

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks for sharing such a detailed history of Panaji, really appreciate the local insight! We really liked this place and what a nice place to call your city of birth. Didn't know it was modelled off Lisbon so funny that we said in the vlog that it instantly reminded us of Lisbon. Thanks for watching and we hope you enjoy the rest of the series 😊🙏

[@NandkumarKamatGoa]

I have subscribed to learn and all positive feedback on Goa will be given to the Government of Goa as consultant to state government on public policies. I send your videos to minister of tourism ,Goa Rohan Khanvte and Goa Tourism Development Corporation MLA Sanvordem Dr Ganesh Gaonkar to educate them because they should know how foreigners perceive this state and what they can learn and improve

[@SeanandEmily]

Overall we had a positive feeling about Goa 😊 it was noticeably cleaner than neighbouring states, sure the tourist hot spots weren’t for us but it’s the same in all countries we visit. It’s also interesting to hear the comments for other visitors to area. The next episodes we have a great time and find a quieter beach. After heading further south we ride again through Goa.

It is an ‘inlet’ and not wholly. Upstream, it is a river. Technically it is an estuary , where fresh water flows towards the sea and the sea water wedge moves below the freshwater in opposite direction with every tidal cycle.

I will tell you about 3 under-rated phenomenon of 2020s. 1) Thai Dramas called Lakorns: I have seen Gifted, Girl from Nowhere, Love Destiny, I Need Romance, Dr Climax, Voice etc etc. 2) Kerala film Industry called Mollywood: I have seen more than 150 films with ratings above 7.5. Recently I saw an interview of Khalid Al Ameri with Nazriya Nazim and Basil Joseph for their film Sookshmadarshini. I have seen movies of Nazim like Bangalore Days and Basil Joseph like Jaya Jaya he and Pookalam. Then I also saw an LGBTQ Malayalam Drama called Kaathal The Core with Mammootty. 3) Mizoram Music Industry: Their music is like 1970s USA music. In 2024 my top 5 songs are the following: 1) The Radio: Hellai Lungrun 2) Ngura: Ran Ngo 3) Lilac and Jacks: Zarkawt Pheiah 4) K Hminga and Sangtei Khuptong: Hmangaihna Kawrang 5) Ruth Tochhawang and Asanga Project: Thlaler Rose Par. These 5 songs will be greater than all the international hits of 2024.

Do u guys also planning to go the North? U should not miss Himalyan states of India. Laddak especially is the most sort after place in India for bikers.

[@SeanandEmily]

Yes, but not on this trip as we only have a short amount of time and there's too much snow in the far North

Well After The UPI from year 2022 The Amount of ATMS getting inoperational is much higher to that getting replaced/new atms. which was the case back then

[@SeanandEmily]

Understandable, they need to make the UPI setup process for foreigners easier and maybe let us know before we leave the airport

[@ansh8579]

@SeanandEmily That's true as of now for UPI One world(UPI for foreigners) can be set-uped at airport with KYC

[@user-vr6px2wz3d]

Sorry about the card issue, you shouldn’t have to go through this bs. UPI is one of the greatest Indian modern inventions, the government needs to advertise it better for arrivals and ease the process for tourists. Even a begger accepts UPI payment nowadays, your life in India would have been so much easier

[@SeanandEmily]

No worries about the cards, just wished there had been some info on it before we left the big cities. hahah that's some advance beggars!

[@amitchodankar1989]

You not visited Dona Paula in Panaji.

[@SeanandEmily]

Can’t visit everywhere -India is huge 😉 But will add them to the list for next time 👍🏻

[@mohanreddy8680]

Goa is pretty much evolved for foreigners. I don't think it is typical style.

[@SeanandEmily]

Goa has had many influences throughout its history and all have left their mark.

If you guys are staying in Bangalore, and up for short breakfast rides. Let me know. I’ve a F850 GSA and me and my wife for a quick breakfast ride.

[@SeanandEmily]

That would have been nice to catch up but we have actually left India now and are making the videos at home. The F850 GSA is a great bike and must be so much fun to ride in India. Wishing you are your wife all the best for 2025! 😎👍

[@soumojitguhamajumder3143]

@ awesome ! Looking forward to future videos.

[@lijeeshkv102]

Can you tell me the name of the shop where you had coffee?

[@SeanandEmily]

It’s called Mo’s -it’s written outside the cafe 👍🏻 maps.app.goo.gl/KTKxuSV7xjo55T9R8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[@shubhamtiwari7902]

DO TRY TO GET UPI THAT IS PRIME PAYMENT INTERFACE IN INDIA. if you have an indian sim may be try using ICICI pockets and GO cashless.

[@SeanandEmily]

IT’S NOT THAT SIMPLE FOR FOREIGNERS 🤣 yes we should have set it up at the airport but why when our credit cards have been accepted in every other country we have traveled to would we have thought that they wouldn’t work here.

[@BeijaminRebelo]

Goa is Portuguese as well as we native goans are luso goanese ethnicity

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks for the info, one can for sure see the influence in the area. 😊

[@BeijaminRebelo]

​@@SeanandEmilyI'm a Goan Portuguese in uk, hope we meet someday, I love superbikes have one zx10r in Goa, next will be here in uk

[@Srmarak001]

[@SeanandEmily]

Too many places in India to see in 3 weeks 😉 -always good to have a reason to come back

[@rajunaik26]

Hello my friend.

[@SeanandEmily]

Hi 👋🏻

[@sanketj8724]

The post office ATM was showing a messege in Marathi that the machine is not working. You were lucky that the machine did not ate your card. It would have been super frustrating to get the card back😅

[@SeanandEmily]

Yeah that would have been a nightmare 🤣 ….fortunately it wasn’t the type to totally eat the card 🙏🏻

[@sanketj8724]

@SeanandEmily Generally foreign cards are not accepted at smaller places as bank charges per transaction are very high. Also Rupay cards are mainly used in India. It's brought by the govt. Visa and Mastercard are on 2nd and 3rd place. People prefer Rupay as it can be used for UPI payments also. But at a tourist place like Goa govt should think about something abt the card issue. Or at least they can simplify the UPI setup process for foreigners.

[@davidf2623]

There are some local youtubers, if you contacg them they can suggest better, beautiful and not so congested tourist spots. Like if in Kerala, "Food N travel by Ebbin Jose" is a good choice..

[@SeanandEmily]

Thanks, we’ve already left India but had a fantastic time exploring the south 😊👍🏻

[@davidf2623]

​@@SeanandEmily Glad to know you enjoyed it. Best wishes for your future travels, and I hope you'll return to explore more of India.❤

[@Foxland3178]

How many peoples like indian culture

[@SeanandEmily]

Lots I think 😊👍🏻

[@Foxland3178]

Thank you New year is coming soon

[@Petrolhead11]

I’m wandering, can foreigners use UPI ?

[@SeanandEmily]

Yes they can but it’s a bit more complicated to set up, we have to show our passports at an authorised location to link a foreign back account -we could have done this upon arrival at the airport however we presumed visa/MasterCard/Apple Pay would work and we had never heard about UPI.

[@Petrolhead11]

@SeanandEmily Good to know 😉
