We spent an entire day in Mumbai and did not see another single white person except for in the hotel this morning and tonight. Where are they all or they not venture out?
We went walking this morning and headed to a local 'mall' as we wanted to buy dresses for the wedding this weekend. The shopping centre ended up being just one department store but it was fun having a browse anyway and start to get an idea of what to wear.
Next stop was a dress shop, which displayed beautiful dresses in the windows, so we decided to pop in there.

Well, we were treated so nicely. The shop assistant was so helpful in giving us ideas on what to wear to an Indian wedding, we were offered masala tea, water, and plenty of different style dresses. No browsing through racks of dresses; here you sit and the dresses are pulled out for you. Books with different styles and colours, all you do is point and say I quite like that one, and it appears in front of you. We had at one stage 5 people serving us; one was a girl who came in to help put the dresses on, a guy who took measurements for the alterations, one sales guy with a lady and another guy who just stood and nodded. We certainly felt well looked after and we both found a dress we really liked, so that's one dress down, one to go.

The back to the hotel to collect our bags; we are moving from Juhu Beach to South Mumbai.
The taxi ride was a hoot, he talked heaps and was a driver of dubious skill, although he had plenty to say about the other drivers on the road!

| Not the cleanest city. |
The 'new' hotel is in a busy built up area and tonight we ventured out attempting to find a restaurant. Instead we walked in a busy market street, selling vegetables. We picked up some dinner at a street vendor; fresh samosas, very tasty, and had dinner watching a fascinating Indian soap opera!
