So we wrapped up in Delhi this past week and flew to Mumbai to meet with a few more companies and wrap up our research. I was getting used to that dirty, less than safe city. It had quite a bit of character.
But I really like Mumbai. Although it still has very dirty parts, there are big stretches of the city that are very clean. When we got here, the hostel we booked was not as advertised. It's located on this side-alley in a not so safe location and is tiny. Then on Sunday, one of the ex-pats offered to drive us home from church, and when she saw it said 'You can't stay here. You should come home with me.' Fine, twist my arm. It has been the biggest blessing and so wonderful. I think we would have survived there, but it would have been pretty miserable because it was hard to get anywhere from there and we would have had to work all day in those tiny little rooms. There was no water pressure to shower with so we would have been washing out of the bucket. This lady, Debbie Dickens, is so nice. Today, she let us use her driver to take us downtown and sight see and shop. It was so nice to have someone with tons of knowledge about the area, shopping, etc. And the food has been great. Anyway, it has made Mumbai a wonderful experience.

would you have been washing out of the bucket that's under the sink?
