First real day in Mumbai
I wasn't expecting to have as much culture shock as I do (been there done that syndrome :) Today is better than yesterday. Just went out and found the tourist info office on foot which was a good experience. I was planning on hanging out in Mumbai for a music festival (big sitar competition) that was supposed to be today and tomorrow. Turns out that it was rescheduled. So not sure if I'll stay until the 11th as planned or try and get to Pune sooner.
I'm off to the train station to sort out trains to Pune (not sure how far in advance tickets need to be purchased.)
