Saturday night in Mumbai



Hello from the city that in the past was referred to as Bombay. We landed last night under a full moon and a clear sky. After checking into our hotel a group of us headed out to the Inter Continental Hotel on Mariner Street where we met up with a classmate who is not on this trip but is from Mumbai. We spent the next three hours partying away at the club on the first floor of the hotel. It was just like Lucy’s, except we have to pay 500 rupees to get in, the music is in Hindi, and there is no 80s night.


During the ride back to the hotel (in a cab with the headlights off), I asked the professor (who partied with us!) whether this reminds him of when he was younger and he said this partying scene has only manifested itself within the past eight years.
