Pat and Dominique's Snaps - Mumbai Scenes
Left: Yes - you guessed it! McDonalds has reached India. Right: Are you thirsty? How about a (grubby) glass of freshly squeezed 'Sugar Cane?'
Left: An unusual traffic sign. Right: These 'sparkley' and delightful little triangular parcels are infact, 'Paan'. Sweet or savoury stuffing encased in a green leaf and then decorated with 'Vark;' silver leaf.
Left and Right: Theses stalls are selling tea and snacks and do a roaring, passing trade!
Left: Hand-woven baskets of green bananas, shaded from the sun with a newspaper. The box of Bilseri is the Indian equivalent of Volvic. Right: This shop sells freshly squeezed fruit juice, just choose your fruit!
Left: Paan Stall. Notice the beautifully wrapped conical shaped leaves. Right: Pat notices how beautiful they are and wonders if he should buy (Dominique likes the sweet ones!)
Left: Boxes of mangoes, melons and apples with baskets of bananas. Right: Hire a horse drawn carriage and see the sights of Mumbai.
Left: This man is selling 'Street Food'. If you decided to buy, your meal will be wrapped in newspaper, which is rather reminiscent of our Fish and Chips!
