Yep, everyone's been to Mumbai right? So don't laugh at me when I say i haven't until two weeks ago. That experience was cool and hot at the same time.
By cool, I mean the architectural designs were amazing, especially in CST and Taj Hotel. What i didn't understand was the fact that Shiv Sena had to change the British names. Whats wrong with these? They're a lot shorter.....e.g.
Victoria Terminus, named after Queen Victoria, became Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus(12 letters longer)
Prince of Wales Museum, named after the Price of Wales who visited the area, became Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Swagrahalya(A whopping 23 letters longer). The museums, especially Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Swagrahalya(under the name they innocently say"Formerly Prince of Wales Museum) were amazing and art galleries equally so, although they had some inappropriate drawings..........
What I mean by hot is the temperature. It is so hot and sticky there that I felt as if I had finally gone to the underworld. It was November, I'm sure I don't want to go in May.......:) When we came back, my mom rightfully said that the weather here was like heaven compared to Mumbai. But its still worth a visit!
