kolkata to mumbai

We spent our last day in kolkata at a loud scummy local bar in town. There are a ton of super classy places, but I am not classy enough to get in. I was actually turned away for wearing shorts (from street pooping to dress codes, only in India!). We both had to go to the bathroom real bad on our walk to a Jain temple and we stopped to go in the alley (like all the locals do). Turns out though that it was NOT only an alley but some womans home too. She freaked out on Sunni and Sunni freaked out right back. Nothing like walking through a beautiful temple with your hystarically crying girlfriend (again, only in India). Flying into Mumbia was a little unsettling. A massive slum surounds the airport and as you land you can see all the tiny metal villages. So far it is still not the modern metropolis that I was somehow invisioning, but it has all the signs of progress. We went to a mall yesterday and walked around by the Gateway of India today. Modern coffee houses and fancy chain stories sit next to beggars and bazzars with highrises being constructed everywhere. Although still pretty strange this and kokata are the closest to western cities (but still light years away).
