Sho Cafe: Hidden Gem on the 9th Floor ☕️✨
Sho Cafe is tucked away on the 9th Floor (9F)—and trust me, this spot is a vibe! To get your caffeine fix, here’s how to get there without breaking a sweat:
Head to the Lobby area, which is on the same floor as the Co-Working Space. Yup, Sho Cafe is literally steps away from the hustle and bustle, making it perfect for a quick recharge or a low-key hangout.
To reach Sho Cafe, just hop into the elevator and select 9F. The elevator panel makes it super easy—no fuss, just press and vibe!
The cafe’s opening hours usually sync with the building’s—so it's open from morning till evening (double-check for holiday vibes just in case!). Sho Cafe’s address is inside the building at 9F, right beside the Lobby and Co-Working Space—super accessible for anyone wandering in.
Basically: Elevator ride + coffee = your new happy place. Can't wait for you to check it out! #foodie
How gods are born: a workshop in Mandrem
#springtravel
In Mandrem, right next to the temple, is Shri Guru Krupa Art Studio. This is not just a workshop — it's a place where traditional sculptures for Indian temples can not only be seen but also tried to be made by yourself.
· What's here: The masters are deeply rooted in local culture and create bas-reliefs and statues by hand. You can see how temple sculptures are born — from a piece of stone or wood to a finished deity.
· Workshops: The main attraction — you can participate. Under the guidance of the artists, you can try carving or sculpting a simple form. This is not a tourist attraction, but real work with a real master.
· The vibe: A small workshop, no English signs. You can get inside if you show genuine interest and respect. They don't sell souvenirs here — they show a craft.
Tip: Come without loud groups. Ask for permission before taking photos. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The masters are usually happy to share if they see sincere curiosity.
Verdict: This place is not for ticking off a list. It's for those who want to see how gods for Indian temples are actually made.

India "Goa"
When you're just strolling around and catching the Indian vibe. You learn something new and become interested in Indian traditions.
When your wife is on the move, you're on the move too 🤣🤣🤣. But it's truly amazing when your vacation and relaxation are 1000% fulfilling 🤗☺️🤗
Changing locations from North to South Goa, on foot 🚶🚶➡️🏃🏃➡️
Thalassa Beach Boutique Гоа
Awesome hotel-restaurant-beach club.
Very atmospheric, beautiful, clean, and European-style.
Come for sunset; it's heartbreakingly beautiful.
Insanely delicious wine.
Prices are a bit high, plus they include tips.
A glass of wine is 1,500₽, but it's worth the view!

Mandrem Art Escape🌞
#hellonewyear
Kicking it off in Mandrem, Goa, I found myself soaking up sunshine and local culture at Shri Guru Krupa Art Studio — where creativity meets tradition under the tropical sky 🌴☀️ There’s nothing like the buzz of making your own barельеф (bas-relief) while the golden statue sparkles beside Mandrem temple in the backdrop!
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Shri Guru Krupa Art Studio
Querim–Arambol–Agarwada Road, near HP fuel pump, Mandrem, Goa 403527
Open daily from 08:00–19:00
Dive into their hands-on мастерская по изготовлению барельефов (bas-relief workshop). Whether you’re a beginner or a DIY art buff, the master artists guide you step-by-step. My tip? Don’t be shy — ask questions about their process. You’ll learn more than just how to shape clay, you’ll tap into Goa’s vibrant artistic scene!
Personal Insight:
It’s a chill, friendly studio — no touristy crowds, just real craft. Take breaks out under the trees, snap pics with the golden statue, and enjoy Mandrem’s peaceful outdoor vibe. If possible, time your visit for late afternoon when the light makes everything glow (perfect for photo ops!).
Getting Around:
Local taxis are best for short distances, or you can rent a scooter right at Mandrem beach for max flexibility. Studio is easy to spot near the fuel pump!
Food Rec:
Grab lunch at a beach shack nearby (recommend anything with fresh seafood). Hydrate with coconut water — it’s available everywhere and perfect after working with clay.

Goa Temple Trails🌞
#hellonewyear
Exploring Mandrem, North Goa is an absolute treat—think coconut palms, chill temple vibes, and those tropical roads that make you want to snap pics every five minutes 🌴📸. If you’re cruising toward Morjim, take the time to hit up these two awesome spiritual spots!
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Maruti Mandir (MP8G+4PG, Mandrem, Goa 403527, India)
This peaceful temple is surrounded by lush greenery. Consider visiting early when it’s quiet—the marble floors are cool underfoot and you’ll get to hear the birds instead of crowds. 🌞 Pro tip: Leave shoes outside, and bring a small offering for the shrine (flowers or fruit work great).
2. Abandoned Temple. Be sure to stop and look around this building. Only bas-reliefs on the walls remained of the former greatness. This is a truly mystical sight.

A quiet beach with a large number of shecks. Compared to Arambol, privacy and calm. You come home to your neck) you're remembered. Sunbeds are like everywhere else - you take any drink or food - all day free.
Tables close to the ocean tonight - great sunset.

Pleasant service in Lamas Place
