Mumbai

First step of our Indian adventures: Mumbai ! I'm gonna be honnest here, Mumbai is probably not the best introduction to India. The heat is almost unbearable due to the humidity, the bipping of cars is constant making it hard to sleep without hear-plugs and the size of the city is really overwhelming. But once acclimated to those things, Mumbai has got many architectural treasures, a great food scene, and definitely a quite modern vibe in this conservative India. We spent the first day walking around the historical centre, everything went smoothly until we reached the Gateway of India (picture just below) where we've been asked for a least a dozen selfies by random people. Pretty weird request and it was difficult to say no looking at their sad and disappointed faces. So maybe, we now have our picture hung in some strangers house :) Gateway of India       Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus   University of Mumbai
