I’m in Mumbai for a few days for work. It’s… um… interesting and more than a bit overwhelming. I recently read some comments on visiting Thailand, that it was too bad everyone’s first experience had to be Bangkok: a big, busy city in a very different country. I’ve never been to Thailand but it seems Mumbai is the same way.
I’ll post more when I have the chance to upload a few photos. This entry can serve as the postcard entry – if you want a postcard, leave your address. Unless you did so on the Paris entry 2 weeks ago, in which case you’re getting one whether you want it or not :) I promise they’ll be less lame this time. Comments are screened.
Lame? Aw c’mon – I found it hilarious :D
bangkok is amazing! don’t let anyone tell you differently!
Oh, I believe you :)
It’s just not an ideal “welcome to the third world” experience – too much to deal with right when you get off a plane from a more familiar environment. Admit it, you were overwhelmed at first :)
i hid in the toilet of the don muang airport for like 20 minutes before facing the outside world when i first landed! i was terrified. i was coming from tokyo.
but it just goes to show you have you can love a place if you give it a chance!
That’s likely true for Bangkok, but it’s not true for all cities.. have you fallen in love with Waterloo yet?
