After 2 days of traveling, and 2 days in Mumbai, I've decided it might be time to post again. I don't want to give too much of play-by-play of the days' events, so I'll just provide some highlights from my experience traveling here and the little bit I've gotten to see of Mumbai.
Namely -the man sitting next to me on the flight from London to Mumbai.
I sat next to a very chatty Indian man who does business in the U.S. and was flying back home. Despite his chattiness, my American ears only understood about 60% of what he was saying. What I did understand however made for a very interesting plane ride. I'll just provide a snip it of quotes from the ride.
Me: "What's your name?"
Man: (Something I didn't understand).
Me: "Can you say that again?"
Man: "Don't worry about it, just call me Kumar."
Ok, thanks for the confidence Kumar.
Kumar also told me I just travel to a holistic hospital in Kerala that can cure any ailment I have. I'll keep that in mind if I accidentally drink some water.
Kumar: "You know you just ordered the Indian breakfast, right?"
Me: "Yeah, I thought I should give it a try."
Kumar: "Ok...good luck with that."
Again, thanks for the confidence.
Since arriving, I've spent much of my time sleeping in Manali's aunt's wonderful apartment, recovering from some extreme jet lag. When I haven't been sleeping, these are some of the things I've seen:
| This insane view of Mumbai from her aunt's new apartment |

| Statue of Ganesh in the small Jagdeeshwara Temple |
| I know its a bit dark, but the Mumbai skyline at night |
That's it for now. Tomorrow morning we head to Pune!
