Dave Sir is back

hey morning man,
day one in mumbai n what the hell ride it was to get here!
i mean dont get me wrong, the flights were swell, the transits were good, the customs were kind but
darn i should have knew it something worse was on the corner...
well here i am finally arriving to mumbai, india with the loads of bags n such n being pretty impressed with myself for surviving the trip
THEN i enter the airport from HELL
yup the indian airport authrities decided on that evening by the looks of it to step up their procedures for the swine flu pendemic.
hence some great champ decided to just put up loads of barriers n abt 4 counters to interview every poor chap who gets down of the plane that day. so imagine this, my flight from singapore was a full load aka abt 150-200 pax getting down n being ushed to this massive cluster of people that look to be themselves shocked to be see the big cluster n everyone has no idea who what or where to go inc of elderly, pregnant, parents n such all carring their hand luggage thru this massive cluster of lines leading to good knows where, n the scary thing as u approach there 4 tables its just caox...anyway after like standing in line for an hr or so any most likely getting the swine flu in the process, i managed to divert out of this mass n make my way outside just to see the madness that is mumbai!
due to the mad lines inside the airport everyone waiting outside had doubles n so had their cars, rickshows, taxis, n whatever not they felt they had to park there n join in the fun....tho i did manage to find lee n marie quite easyly, the only 2 white ladies there ;)
n managed to get on a cab..who turned to had a couple to drink that nite n just survived the trip to lee's place.
had beer n called it a nite
now im up at 6 their time, 8ish my time sipping my kopitiam coffee n awaiting my driver to drive me n all this stuff to nareshwadi ;)
well joe will keep all of u guys posted on more stuff as n when they happen or when i have the joys of using the net.
till then stay tuned n God bless ;)
