Mumbai, India

2007 brings me to India. Here are some photos from my visit to Mumbai, India's financial capital.

1. Enjoy the ocean breeze blowing off the Arabian Sea :


2. Mumbai's traditional core is not too tall at all.




4. A little smog, but not too much!


5. More shots towards Colaba :






8. More buildings :








12. Grit.














19. I wonder whether these terraces and windows are designed to counter the hot winters.
















27. The Taj is located next to the Gateway, which is a huge tourist trap.


28. But inside the hotel, it's a much quieter oasis.












34. Yet another sunny day!










39. Lime juice stand


40. In the upcoming parts, I will bring you around the streets of the historic core, with many surprises architecturally.

At least 10 million.

No, I'm not a backpacker. It's a bit dangerous to do that in India. I was pretty much confined to only 5 star hotels and the most posh places in the city because of hygiene problems.
