Touring Mumbai

Submitted by Joshy Orndorff on Tue, 08/27/2013 - 17:07

I had the opportunity to see India with my friend Aditya, a former classmate from the University of Toledo. His family lives in Mumbai, so I flew in there, and we spent a few days seeing the city. At first I saw the area near where he grew up. Another day we took a bus tour of the city, the next he showed me around his former University and some areas that the tour didn't cover. There was lot to see in do in the city itself.

Learning to eat with nothing but hands.
A lot of small shops were closed for Ead, the end of Ramadan.
Gateway of India as seen from a small boat.I got a tiny bit sea sick.
And from the land.
A big shoe house. I don't thinkthere is a story, it's just cool.
Cityscape and beach as seen from Bollywood.
A busy pedestrian street and stairway leading to one of many Hindu temples.
A busy actual street.
Although the distinction between places for walking and driving is pretty bulrred.
The two of us in front of a statue.
Sunset over the beach to end our bus tour.

India's oldest rail station. Built by the British, it was originally called Victoria Terminus. It was later renamed to something completely unpronouncible :]
