The First Impression of Mumbai

Arriving to Mumbai is by itself an experience, as soon as I came out of the plane you understand that you are really in a different country. Yet you see in small things the connections with the Portuguese. As I connected my cellular an operator of Airtel (Vodafone India) sent me a message because of the roaming, the funny thing was that her name is very Portuguese, like six in ten managers of hotels that I was advice to use by the congress organization.

In this 16 million inhabitants city, what impresses me the most is the huge gap between poor and rich, where the extreme poor are called the “untouchables “.

A visit to Mumbai is impossible without going to the Gateway of India at least once (in the photo)
