My first trip to India! ♥

Have not been updating my blog in the past few weeks. Lost my blogging mojo again. So, expect less updates but more pictures, bleh!

My first trip to India was a short one, just 3 days. And it was for working purpose but managed to slot in some time to go “jalan-jalan cari makan” and street shopping with my colleagues =)))

India is a busy country- busy streets, busy people and busy cars. But, the food to be had (mind you- selective street food though) is not bad. Before I draw any further, let me get started on the 1st day on my 1st trip ^^

After a good sleep in the plane, me and colleagues finally landed in Mumbai on March 9, about 11:30pm local time. Each passenger's bags are scanned and each passenger is scanned with a hand-held detection device. Men & women queue up separately at one end of the large waiting room. The men are instructed to put their bags on the conveyor and then stand on a small box at the front of the line while a male security guard scans them with the metal detector. Went through customs with no problems and waited for our luggage. Phew!

My first sight when I left the doors of Shivaji airport was a mass of humanity, many of them were carrying signs with people's names. @.@ We found our names on the signs carried by members of the Novotel Hotel where we were booked. They were extremely polite and helpful. But, mind the driving skills though! Indians drive fast, with frequent use of the horn as a precautionary tool. Cars share the road with motorized RICK-SHAWS, PEDESTRIANS, BICYCLES, DOGS, GOATS, AND MOTORCYCLES =) *god bless*
