RUSSIANS IN GOA ..JANUARY 2025

 Russians and Ukrainians are seen everywhere Goa. You can see them in hotels,on  beaches, on roads, inside shops , in stores and in residential  apartments. War ravaged countries are making people run to peaceful locations .I met a Russian couple at Inferno restaurant in Candolim market  . I was told this :-

" I am teacher in higher education in Moscow school. I earn about 1.15 lakh Indian rupees per month as my salary. My wife is a nurse.  She earns about  92000 rupees per month. We came here for 2 months after saving about 4 lakh . A  two way ticket per person is 42000 approx in economy class from Moscow to New Delhi. We booked Airbnb one room apartment  set in Candolim;  which is  bed room with attached bath , dining cum sitting room and  kitchen@ 2200 per day. One can also book  private one room set  through brokers also @ 25000 to 30000 per month . Many people do it like that.   We cook our food and buy all eatables from Newton's Arcade  Mall.We will spend about 250000 in total for 2 months. Some shopping   will add another 50000 . We will end up saving about  100000  from 400000. We could have saved more had we booked apartment room privately through property agent  .That is how most of the people from our country live here. It is peaceful and good place . The cultural contrast interests us. "
