On our second day in Mumbai, we went on a tour, which was lots of fun. I don’t have enough time to type up the details yet, but here’s a taste, via a couple of our conversations:
walking past a street vendor selling watches, clocks, etc.:
vendor: Hello ma’am, ma’am? I have a huge clock.
me: heeeee ha ha ha
jeff: <apu voice> no thank you, I already have an enormous clock.
me: ya right.
jeff: shut up.
: : : : :
me: heeeee ha ha ha
jeff: why are you laughing?
me: the guide said that this is called the Hanging Garden because unemployed people come here to hang out…
jeff: no. he said unemployed people come here to hang themselves…
me: …oh.
: : : : :
coming out of the restroom at the ghandi house/museum:
me: I peed in Ghandi’s house!
jeff: oh.my.god.
me: what? do you know anyone else who can say that??
jeff: no, and you should totally change your messenger name to that.
me: awesome!!
: : : : :
at a restaurant, having a late lunch:
me: could I have a diet coke please? in a can?
server: 4 o’clock.
jeff & me: <blank stare>
me: diet coke? in a can?
server: oh diet coke ok ma’am <walks away>
jeff: <apu voice> hellloooo? what time is it please? in a can?
me: <laughing hysterically>
(ps, in the restaurant again? Staring Lady. I shit you not)

Excerpt from another recently opened up post:
Mumbai Airport was dingy and dirty and smelly, as expected. We got our luggage and walked out of the airport and it was awesome. A sea of little people, yelling and screaming, and it was warm and there were palm trees and it was full of AWESOME. We didn’t hold out much hope our driver would be there, but Jeff spotted my name on a sign (spelled correctly even)…
