Quick Trip to Bombay

We decided at the last minute to try Couch Surfing for our short stay in Bombay (which is now called Mumbai by most, but we like the sound of Bombay better). Either luck or fate brought us to Fahad and his family, and for this we feel very thankful!



Thanks to Fahad and his family (pictured above and below), our trip to Bombay was much more fruitful than simply attaining a Thai visa. We had a great time talking with Fahad's dad about Dubai, engineering and cars. Even more fun was staying up late talking with Fahad and his brother Fahaq about everything and everything.

We spent three nights in the Muslim quarter of Bombay, the Azad family has lived in the same apartment in the heart of the city for over 90 years.

We spent three days traveling to and from the Thai Embassy, but also took some time to walk the bay front. The city was beautiful and fast paced, we enjoyed taking in the sights and wandering through the streets.

Za drank chai as Josh took a quick cat nap to recharge.

The skyline of Bombay was truly stunning.

We enjoyed our time in Bombay so much that we hope to visit Fahad and his family again. Josh looks forward to talking engineering robotics and exchanging ideas with Fahad for years to come. Thanks guys!
