Arrived in Mumbai (Bombay) today and headed for the hotel. Missed the sign for my hotel driver so I took my chances. Ha-ha. The car looked official (I booked it through Avis) but was off the hook. The driver was this young guy in a uniform but chose not to wear any shoes. It was like a highlander and the Indian music was blaring. His english was ...shall we say limited? But with address in hand and many stops we were able to figure it out. As soon as he found out I was from the states he put ...
Mumbai (Bombay), India bnbfsuI just spent my first weekend in Bombay. Didn't really have an agenda and on Friday evening my driver suggested he take me out for a site seeing drive on Sunday afternoon. So Saturday I was on my own. I am slowly getting adjusted to being by myself and venturing out alone. Trust me it is a lot harder than it seems. And, the constant staring doesn't help. But I am learning not to notice it (or so I tell myself). It also helps that I am picking up a little Hindi. Yes, I know don't laugh. Well g...
Mumbai (Bombay), India bnbfsuToday was fun but tiring. It was a little challenge since I woke up with a really sore left hip. But as the day went on I learn what leg had to be used first and it started to stretch out. We started out our day with a wonderful breakfast. Then we meet our tour guide Ida who took told us everything you could image about the city. We start by stopping to see where the Toby-cot (laundry men) work on doing the laundry all day long. (This is only in Mumbai). On our way thought he city we saw a ca...

Mumbai (Bombay), Maharashtra, India emeric.bensaci... with them because the monkeys would attack and steal it from you. Some people just don't know how to listen. I saw a little boy lose his corn on the cob to a monkey as well as water bottles taken from adults. This one lady had been sitting down and a monkey stole the scarf from her saree. She had been trying to get it back and the monkey was charging and her and hissing. I stepped in to help and threw stones at the monkey while staring him down (asserting my dominance ...

Nous embarquons dans un taxi des annees 50 jaunes et noir ...
Mumbai (Bombay), Maharashtra, India ericetmanu... much one after the other. The poor thing has been on antibiotics for WEEKS and I think her mother is camping out at the airport waiting to bring her home. WE've all been quite worried about her but she is on the mend now. Thing is, I am keeping well. Dangerously well. Well to the point where I daren't say "I've not been ill yet, naaaa na na na naaa!". The only two things that have happened to ...
Mumbai, India mysticzed... airport on a Friday afternoon to catch our short flight to Mumbai. Nicco (English) would be meeting us in Mumbai on Saturday. I let these guys plan the entire trip including the hotel choice...which frankly scared the **** out of me. The three of us arrive into Mumbai and promptly get the shadiest cab driver I've ever had in India. Whatever...if it's important for him to charge us an extra $2-3 for a $1 fare...he can probably use the money more than I ...
