From Singapore To India (Mumbai)

Well there's still more pictures of Singapore but I think I'll post that a little later.
So onward to India. When we finally reached Mumbai, it was already in the wee hours of the morning.There wasn't much cars on the street and most of the traffic lights weren't working.
We were booked at Hilton Towers Mumbai hotel.

The next morning after a good breakfast we decided to walk around in front of the hotel.
From the picture it sure does look hazy, but what the people there told us is that it was fog.

Later after our meetings and lunch, I took opportunity to shoot the Gateway of India which was so happened to be nearby the hotel we had lunch at. Unfortunately the monument was undergoing some beautification work. It was built to commemorate the visit of King George V and Queen Mary in December 1911 so say the print on the monument :)
Next, we were taken to a place called Crawford Market which is one of the most famous market there. There were actually some better shopping malls, but we didn't knew that at that time. Still was a pretty interesting adventure. Theres more then 13.3 million people in Mumbai alone. So wasn't too surprising that you could see loads of people everywhere.

One of the clothing departmental store.

Thats the market place
Yup the 'ta' you see there is actually Bata.
Did you know Bata was founded in the Czech Republic ?

Thats the clock tower
