Space

For those of you that have asked, my mom's luggage made it to the hotel about 36 hours after she landed. We fly out tomorrow for Kerala so hopefully all the luggage will make it with us this time.

I got to see something through an other's eyes regarding Mumbai this weekend. There are 15 million people in Mumbai and the people are resourceful. Every square inch of land is used. For example, in the middle of the road, on the median, people string up line to be used for drying clothes. This fact made the fire that swept through a Bandra slum even more sad since there is very little space for them to go. It took the fire truck 25 minutes to reach the area which is not surprising with the amount of traffic on the roads.

Despite that, it's been a fun two days of showing off what I've learned and my daily routine. I'm excited to experience a new state in India and for that matter a completely different region. I've heard southern India is much different than Mumbai which is much different than northern India. I'm sure I'll have much to share from our trip.

Oh, and P.S. I saw the crocodile today :)
