Bandra

Yesterday we woke up late and went down to Bandra for some shopping. The shopping was good, but you have to haggle for the prices and it was really hot outside. I felt like a sucker because I bought four things mostly because I felt guilty and the store owners wouldn’t let me leave without taking the item. I’m happy with my purchases. Then we had a brownie and mango smoothies at Barista-the Indian Starbucks. It was nice and cool inside the air conditioned room. Then we had to rush back and we left at 5, but didn’t get back until 6 and we had to leave by 6:30 and everyone had to shower, but not everyone did. I was lucky enough to take a quick shower and then hurriedly got dressed. It was a humorous situation. Then, we walked to the train station and the station was packed with people everywhere! We bought are tickets and waited for the slow train. I was advised to only go first class, but everyone else went in the 2nd class section. The train was packed and you have to push and shove through a mob of people just to get on the train because people get on and off at the same time creating a chaotic scene. We had to move closer into the train to avoid getting trampled as people were exiting. Luckily the last stop most people had gotten off so there was no need for pushing. It was definitely a different experience. It was amazing how many people can fit into one car. It was like cattle being herded into a pen.
