travelblog 01.07

 Hi you! Right now i'm sitting in the hotelroom just relaxing and watching indian TV. We landed on Mumbai airport two hours ago, and right now i'm really tired. the first thing I noticed with the city is all of the people. It's crowded everywhere we go, and the people are also extremely different. Everything from super-rich bollywood actors to the poorest orphans who pick garbage for a living. It's really amazing how the caste system is working. you really notice how some people have a higher rank than others  and some who is almost looked upon as dust. The traffic in Mumbai seeme to be without rules and is all about who yelles the most. The cabdriver was using the horn and shouting out the window non-stop almost hitting people and cars and carefully avoiding the cows. The cows is a strange phenomenom with an extremely high status, i find the cultural differnece very strange. In western countries the cows is looked upon as only sources of meat and milk but in india they are treated as gods. what's with these skinny creatures that is so remarcable that they deserve to be treated as gods? Well i dont know but her are some pictures i took while driving the cab.
 The extremly crowded and thight streets.
