Advantages: Great sights, fun people, fantastic food, and brimming with culture
Disadvantages: Pollution, noise, touts, and the initial culture shock

Mumbai is the second-largest city in India, and my goodness you notice it. There are people literally wherever you go, and I would guess that the phrase 'peace and quiet' is more one for idle dreams than common colloquialisms.

In terms of actual sights, it's surprising how much a busy, polluted ...
...is not to say that Mumbai does not have its drawbacks. The touts are undoubtedly persistent and annoying, and walking out of the airport involves running a gauntlet.

Staying: Marine Plaza on Marine Drive. Very good service, right on ...
...You must experience the Ambassador Black/Yellow taxi cabs - with their neon lights and leopard print seat covers, they are a fun ride. Most taxi cab drivers will be more than happy to offer you a daily rate and will drive you to wherever you want to go and wait for you to return. I recommend this if, like us, you only have a short amount of time in the city. Food: I highly recommend the Khyber Restaurant in the Kala Gora area. Fantastic sub-continent ... Read review
