Mumbai is alive! After having time to soak in the surrounds for a second time I really began to like Mumbai. The colours are amazing, there is so much life & buzz about the city - from street vendors selling interesting food, taxi drivers in old black & yellow cabs, the higher end going about their business at the Taj (fancy accommodation where I sat & watched the world go by for a few hours), the trees creating a canopy over many streets & of course the beggars lining the streets as they sleep at night or beg for money or food during the day.
Andrea & I went out to dinner with her partner in the ritzy end of town last night for some fabulous Indian food. Wow! What a way to finish. It's always great going to an Indian restaurant with a local.
I was driven to the airport this morning by a rickshaw driver who I think thought he was part of a nintendo game...we cruised through the traffic, weaving in & out at crazy speeds. It's interesting how safe I feel on the roads in India though...they all have amazing spacial awareness!
