Mumbai knock out

The flight from Dubai was delayed for the morning fog, so I end up arriving at the hotel in Mumbai at 6pm. (Amazed by the Emirates airline, still a peasant, lol)
I was not able to stop from the airport to the hotel, but Mumbai at first sight is a complete shock to the senses.

The airport is surrounded by one the famous slumps, millions of people living in the worst hygiene conditions and full of diseases. In this slump, up to 15.000 share one “toilet”, yes, fifteen thousand people!!

Colors, smells, noise, mess, Mumbai is a blow for the senses, but a beautiful and unique blow. Tomorrow I´ll get to know it better.
