The Crowded Mumbai
In my imagination, India is a very beautiful country like in Bollywood films. Big amazing mansions and beautiful girls are always the icon of India in the movies. But once I get out of Mumbai airport, what I imagine it was wrong. In front of the airport, taxi parking scattered irregularly, in a fleet of sedans wearing the old-eighties as possible. The atmosphere is too chaotic and squalid impressed, many people place so that the smell of urine stinging in some corners at the airport.
After a long of waiting and negotiations finally I get a taxi that drove me to the hotel. The traffic in Mumbai is chaotic and very out of order. Overlap each other, cutting each other, pushing. Taxi driver who drove me speeding through the traffic jams in the middle of the night. Hotels are already booked was located in the dense environment near the central market in Mumbai city.
Mumbai’s not really my main goal to India. It was just a transit for about ten hours before continuing the trip to Goa. That’s why I did not have time to explore this city. Because there is only a little time, I try to walk around the hotel in Mumbai. Infrastructure here is really out of order. Electric cables are chaotic, crowded homes are disordered, gaping holes visible on the edge of the highway. Public transport, old buses passing, people crossing at any place, the stores are not arranged neatly.
