Mumbai (Bombay)

We flew to Mumbai yesterday and were met by Prof. Wagh from IndSearch, one of the schools I am visiting while here. It continues to surprise me how the cultures of the various town differ. In Mumbai, people are quite business oriented, not wanting to waste a lot of time with chit-chat. They also obey the traffice signals, unlike New Delhi.

Our plan to tour Mumbai today was put on hold for a couple of reasons:
1. Kathy is not feeling too well. She seems to be on the mend already, but is in no shape to sit in a car or walk around palaces and musems.
2. There are some politcal protests going on downtown today, so it is a good time to avoid there.

We are in a nice hotel, so we will just sit here and wait out Kathy's illness.
