I thought it was a bit unfair to only have a list of good things about the UK so to help me look forward to my next trip to India, here are the list of things that are cool about Mumbai:
- I can get my ironing done for Rs. 2 per piece (about 2-and-a-half p)
- I don't have to do any cleaning
- There is always the tantilising possibility that I might see an elephant every time I go out
- Goa is only a 40 minute plane ride away
- It is much warmer
- I don't have to worry about finding a parking space at work
- You can get a nice meal out for the price of a large class of wine in London
- You get to ride in auto rickshaws
- You don't have to scrape ice off the windscreen in the morning
- I can order room service any time
- Diet Coke is the same as in the UK
- Living in an appartment complex in a hotel is a little bit like living in really posh halls of residence
- I can watch ER and Friends on the TV
- Air Conditioning
- I don't always feel like I'm half a day behind the rest of my team
- I can always buy more pashminas at very reasonable prices
- I'm saving a fortune in heating bills
- There are always exciting things to take photos of
- We have a driver!
- The hospitals are cleaner than in the UK
I haven't quite got to the same number as the last list but 20 is still pretty good. And there's the air miles, of course :-) All in all it's not so bad flying back to India on Tuesday!
