Mumbai is the city I first landed when I embarked on my backpacking trip to South India. Aadil met me at the airport. By the way, Aadil is a VTer who lives in Mumbai and knows the place very very well. He can be a very good tour guide as well as a great curator at most places.
Aadil hosted me when I was in Mumbai and I really enjoyed his company. Well, I even saw stars using his telescopes on his rooftop. Astronomy is his hobby, you see? |
Ok! I shall write about my impressions of Mumbai. I find Mumbai a rather "European" city. Maybe it is due to its history. The architecture are pretty much built the colonial ways, very British, I mean.
Mumbai is a bustling city and definitely a shopping and food paradise. You can find practically everything in Mumbai. It is also very populated and the streets are always busy, even at night. I tasted a lot of food when I was there and I was happily shooting food pictures during every meals.
Although Mumbai is also known as Bollywood, I did not get that "Bollywood" feel. I saw one Bollywood star walked pass me though. I did not recognise him and Aadil pointed out to me. |

Wow, terrific food tips here, Bee. We loved India - didn't get to Mumbai, but it's a big country. We DID have the chance to meet Umashankar. Aadil is a friend of mine, too, but we didn't get to meet him in October. | Wild_Orchid Mon Jul 31, 2006 04:06 UTC
