Indians means no money!!!

That was very nice article and I too have faced this in Goa and across the Globe in Indian owned restaurants in US.

Actually the problem is that in our culture no one pays tips in restaurants(but things are changing). In abroad the tips by norm is 20% of total value of transaction. Now in Goa the hotel staff used to such hefty tips, conveniently ignore Indians as there is little incentive in serving them.

Also in beaches, skimpily clad people easily attract attention of Indians, as we are not used to exposing our bodies in public. So often these people feel akward and complain to locals, but there is no excuse for the local folks to ask people to vacate the chairs unless they own those chairs.

And in Night clubs I think there are enough bad instances when the number of single men outnumber the women. Best example is in Mumbai where acouple of women got assaulted. Is is unfair to let single Foriegner men to be allowed inside, I think that should not be allowed. However remember again the tips that can be made from these guys tilts the scale in their favor.
