India-good

Here's the gateway of India. A photo right from our hotel window.

A closer view of the gateway during the daytime.

Me and Sang in front of the Gateway of India. It must be very early since no one is around.

Here's the Taj hotel (where the terrorists attacked). We stayed right next to it. The Gateway to India is right behind me. To the right you can see some barricades to the main entrance of the hotel.

Here's our hotel from the outside. I can see our window!

Bobby hangin with some cows on the street.

Sang pointing out one of the many slums. Actually, all of Mumbai is a slum.

Closer view of a typical slum.

And the beautiful water below. Who's up for swimming?

Bobby walking through a slum market.

Random little temple.

Cows all over the place.

More of the slum market.

Lot's of goats just chillin around, too.

Sang and Bobby in our 'living room'. Right outside the window is the Gateway to India.

Bad photo, but here's the memorable room.

The hotel staff was extremely unhelpful. Oh, here's the foyer.

And the old school bathroom. We figured out how to get the hot water working on the last day there.

The (massive) hallway outside our room.

The old-fashioned elevator complete with bellboy. Everything in Mumbai seemed really old and antique.

Zubin and Kaynaz at some pre-wedding party.

Here's the crew.

Zubin took us the Chowpatti beach at night. A mini-ghetto-style carnival. Here's a ring toss game built right into the sand. We payed 5 cents to play and one a bar of soap!

Famous kebab restaurant around the corner from our hotel.

Signs like this all over the place.

One day we took or Mumbai city tour. Here's the itinerary.

Dhobi Ghat - a slum that turned into a massive open-air washing operation.

I'm not sure how clean these clothes actually get, though.

But it is pretty big.

We stopped at this fishing 'village' in Mumbai. This is where the Terrorists landed in November 2008.

Sang and Bobby on Chowpatti beach during the day. Dead now, but a horrible smell and garbage everywhere.

The leftovers of the ring toss from last night.

This monkey could use a little trimming.

Penguin garbage cans all over the park.

Me, Sang, and Bobby in the park.

Me with the giraffe.

And of course we need an elephant with rider. Somehow I got birds in this shot too.

Me overlooking a small piece of Mumbai and Chowpatti beach.

Here's a stop at Gandhi's house.

The house from outside.

A bust of gandhi.

Sang in Gandhi's house.

Most cars have a bumper sticker that says horn please because they have no mirrors so they want to know when someone is coming up behind. Needless to say, the honking never ever stops.
