    Yes, one benefit is that compared to lots of developing world places, its extremly safe. In comparison, lots of Africa, S America and Asia there can be a fair bit of shit with guns, if u choose to go off exploring.
    Even the "gangsters" in Goa would have trouble scaring anyone over 5ft 2..
    Altho ofcourse common sense still applies.

    Generally the crime in India (and all over Asia) is more concealed and secretive whilst in Africa and South America it's not uncommon to be held under gunpoint or a knife on your throat.
    That being said, I been to a lot of 'off the beaten track' places and generally people are nice everywhere in the world. The worst things don't happen in those out of the way places, the worst things happen in touristy places.

    i can tell you what subject i am most likely to have talked the longest with someone about, but i have no idea who, when, where, or how long, i actually might have.

    and that would of course be, little people sized trains, clean energy, that is to say a world in which infrastructure and its technology is engineered to be in maximum harmony with nature, and what that world would be like to live in.

    it might even involve the people living in that world, building and riding those trains, and windmills and so one, growing fur and tails and much prettier non-human type faces.

    I happen to converse with a Kantian and a Hegelian from time to time and even though I do like to talk and take part in a conversation, if those two are at it on the subject of Kant vs. Hegel I am usually kicking back with a cup of coffee and silently listening to their debate.

    That I can remember off the top of my head... about six months ago a friend of mine decided to eat a little mull cookie before a bunch of us went clubbing. She was fine for a good half hour or so before she started to chuck a whitey and decided she needed to puke. So I took her to the toilets and stood outside the cubical to let her do her thing. She then asks me to sit with her, so there I am kneeling there while she's trying to calm down. She asks me to talk to her about anything, and then suggests Dragonball Z... I was stoked! So, for however long we were in there I'm telling her all about the characters, the dragonballs, episodes, abridged episodes, movies, why I love the show, why I dislike the GT episodes, etc and she's hanging off my every word. It was great, even at her expense.

    Something similar happened to me in Vegas, except the girl didn't make it to the restroom. She got us and our whole group kicked out, they even photocopied her ID so as not to let her back in.

    I have always wondered why people like Dragonball Z! They never gave a real explanation... :(
