Mumbai (Bombay)

I spent my days wandering the streets of this dilapitated and overpopulated city. 16.4 million people live here so I never felt alone.

Sunrise in Bombay The Gateway of India - the city's icon Marine Plaza Hotel - view of glass bottom swimming pool From my hotel room on Marine Dr - the southern most end of the city View of Chowpatty Beach and Marine Drive Chowpatty Beach is a hub for social gatherings every night Mumbai at Dawn Dhobi Ghat - the place where 5000 men wash, wring & beat dirt out of clothes Literally beating the dirt out - human washing machines Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus - Gothic Architecture Thankfully known as VT Station for short - built in 1887 Sassoon Dock at dawn Nothing significant - just old Near Gateway of India at sunset Locals love to hang out at the Gateway of India Daily worship Taj Mahal Hotel - built 1903 by a Parsi who was refused entry to European hotel Taking in the sites Found a place to "clean" my camera - they weren't successful Some markets are nicer than others Pinapple stand at Colaba Market Bunches of grapes Bucket o' chicken Looks like low income housing but it's not Off to the neighborhood food bazaar Where the locals shop Before bird flu hit India Would you like it with or without skin? Chicken heads and feet Uh oh. I think I'm next The feathers and skin have to come off somehow
