Experience Mumbai

Imagine a place where the red carpets roll out not for Angelinas or Brads, but for Sharukhs, Ishas, or one of the many stars of Bollywood. Imagine a place where extreme poverty coexists with swank clubs, high-class restaurants, and a hotel designed in the spirit of the Taj Mahal. Imagine a place where a local Indian meal with all of its curries, herbs, and vegetables can cost from two to five dollars. Imagine a place where one second youll smell incense burning in the air, and in the very next youll get a whiff rickshaw exhaust…or cow or even elephant exhaust, if youre lucky. Imagine a place where perfect people will treat you like family, inviting you to weddings or into their homes, leaving it up to you to decide whether or not to accept or reject their offers of kindness. Imagine a place where anything can happen at any moment a city where chaos blends with order, pollution with beauty, and misery with opulence.Welcome to Mumbai, one of Indias most bustling, populated, action-packed, creative, and absolutely random cities.
