Mumbai, MH, India

Tue Jun 2 12:00am - Tue Jun 9 12:00am

Notes

I will arrive in Mumbai. I will have flown in from Brussells Belgium. I am sure I am going to be overwhelmed. I am going to stay a bit. I need to get a feel for the place. No shopping until the end of the trip. I am told that Mumbai has the best bazaars in all of India. I am so excited and I am very much looking forward to traveling to this wonderful country, my spiritual homeland. I'll be an official Indian after this!

Meymoona,
I have enjoyed all of the pictures. I agree that you should write a book upon your return. Slow down on the motor bike car (LOL) -- I know that you are zooming like the natives. Love, Aunt Donna

Hey!
I just read through your notes from the beginning,It is indeed interesting ,especially for an Indian to get a fair perspective of what others think about my country.
I get to meet a lot of people from the US who meet me daily during the course of work,I think this tour diary of yours would help me understand their view points better too.
What do you feel about traffic and driving in India ?
I had a friend from the US who recently told me that we in India,tend to disbelieve by default whereas in the US you trust by default?! is this true?

Title your page... "Angela Goes to Ghana" ....or something like that.
