Bombay Bliss




Hello fellow fixers,
I write from our apartment in Juhu, listenting to Crazy Penis (always reminds of you Isa) on a Saturday evening. We've had a few beers, Mark is doing our blog and I'm sorting out pictures, pouring beers and filling up the pringle bowl. We've had a great few days, I think you just need to get the "hang of" life here. Yesterdays frustrations are todays funny stories. Although, whilst within the frustration, it is very difficult to see the funny side of anything.
Everything is funny after 3 big Kingfishers.
We are going to venture out to Bandra tonight. Jo Shaw we dedicate our choice of place to you. We're hitting "Olive". The Lonely Planet's Best of Mumbai description is as follows: "Worth the trip to Pali Hill, Olive is one of the trendiest eateries in town. It serves wholesome Mediterranean dishes drizzled with olive oil to Mumbai yuppies and Bollywood stars. Dress to impress if you want to fit in." Hmmm, we have about 2 sets of clothes and better not tell the rickshaw driver Bandra - Pali Hill wherever that is.
Here are some pix of our farewell and our life here. Tyler promise to send the images outside of our window. The street is happening tonight. Little stalls have popped up and people are stopping, chatting, beeping...beeping...and more fcuking beeping. Loud beeps, high beeps, low beeps and beeps with serious sore throats.
PS. Washing machine dryer is not a washer dryer by the way, even when you're sold a washer dryer. Dryer means extra spin. Dryer with a heat element is quite different again.




This is Yardif, outside our house. The red & blue umbrella is the local beetle nut store. Customers day & night.
