Sunset on day 1 in Mumbai


hi guys,
I know its been sometime since I've updated this website.  Well its just because I've not traveled la ;)
For the non-Malaysian readers, the word "la" is a common replacement for the "." in Malaysia, do try it, say anything n just end it with "la" and walah..you talk like a Malaysian ;)
Well enough of 101 on being Malaysian...now 101 on being an Indian
first make sure you get conned at least once, the sooner the better, as for me it was the taxi guy that instead of charging me the standard 150 odd rupees, charged me 200 odd for a trip.(tick)
then grab yourself an "allo walla pranta with cha" at the local hotel aka restaurant (tick), another 101, restaurants r commonly referred to as hotels, bonus points if you can guess what hotels are commonly referred to as...
third go shopping!!! latest fashions n latest movie cds n books n everything nice (tick)
fourth get on the mumbai local train during off peak hrs n stand at the doors whilst the train travels thru mumbai...(tick)
fifth n final take a rick aka auto all by yourself and try to start a conversation in hindi with the driver (tick) ;)
now you can call yourself a local indian...well not really but you can pass for one la....
ok a bit about the picture above, its from the juru beach, that is close to Lee's place in Mumbai
alright gang, thats it for now, will catch you guys from Nareshwadi
till then
dave signing out...
