Out of the woods

Feeling much better since Sunday morning. We flew back to Mumbay.

We are much more adapted to India now.
Smells of open sewers in the hot and humid weather, traffic, constant flow of people and vehicles, all these things not as terrifying as they were when we arrived. I have to say I'm kind of loving it.
I don't know, maybe it's because my stomach feels better.
Anyway, last night I was thinking about the whole India trip thing. Thanks to my stomach I kept meeting travelers at the hotel and some discussions were very interesting. Here are some thoughts 'bout the whole thing:
- Several travelers have this fantasy/romantic idea about Hinduism. They end up by quickly changing their minds after some time here.
- Religion here looks very different (lots of gods, colorful, etc.) but at the end it really feels people are slaves of their religion; here more than in many other places. It also keeps them in an uneducated state. How can they drink water from the Ganga?
Anyway, let's move on.

We're driving to Mumbay downtown again today. Thanks to our friends Sudanshu and Meenal we get 5 star service: their driver takes us there and drives us back. We are probably spending more time on the traffic jams than on the places we want to see though!
