How do you like India? I have always wanted to visit, but I have heard mostly negative things, and a few positive.

I did enjoy India and look forward to going back. It's definitely a poor country but the people are very friendly and the food is great.

I really miss laying over at the Taj!

Mumbai used to be my favorite layover, but not now with the new layover hotel...

Being a poor country doesn't bother me, I have been to many poor countries. I like to converse with people from new cultures and I love to experience new cousine. Indian food is by far one of my favorites. The negative remarks from my friends were probably because they didn't have a ruth chris and fast wii-fi.

Nice shots. For a second, there, I thought Delta was sending 767s to Mumbai.

Careful going out of there. They've had a couple runway incursions lately. The controllers can't quite get the hang of the conversing runway things.

We are. No more 777s or direct flights. A330s to come in a couple of months.

 

[coa787]

That's weird.

 

[ILSstud]

Ya what is the logic on the 767 and A330...I've heard that the BOM flights are going back and forth full...can't they make more money with the LR on the flight?

Amazing pictures, India is next on my list of countries to visit. The poverty would not bother me too much as I myself grew up in a not so wealthy place. Nothing beats going down the road less traveled. European vacations are too mundane

Great shots, what kind of camera did you use?

There's no comparison from the worse place in the US to India. Take it from someone that has been living here for almost 10 months.

I lived in what many consider a developing nation for almost 10 years of my life before immigrating to the United States. I have seen my fair share of poverty outside of the US that makes everything here look like Disney World. It really is eye opening to have that global experience, makes you appreciate what you have everyday.

That is very true. I really like the majority of people's attitude here. It is so different. You have a guy that shovels crap all day long for 14 hrs a day 6 days a week making $20 US a month and that guy will have a great smile, and just be an overall very happy person. And the majority of people in this country are like that.

In the states, you can have a guy making over 100k that complains and moans every single day and is never happy. Go figure huh.

It is very much an eye opener. I give you props for making it over there, and after reading your girlfriend's blog I am sure it is an invaluable experience for her also. Have a good time flying over there and the Bullet definitely sounds like a fun ride. I was looking at their website, I could definitely go for the "Machismo 500", ha ha
