Have only seen two obvious tourists outside the hotel so far. Haven’t been in richer areas yet, though. Every move attracts curious looks.
Rubbish everywhere. Traffic is chaotic. I’m surprised I haven’t seen any accidents yet. 3-wheeled auto rikshas everywhere, as well as taxis that make you feel like you’re in 1950’s Eastern Europe.
Almost nobody wears shorts. Busses are huge (high) and old, and usually packed. Trains are packed even more.
Hindi everywhere. People’s English is not very good. ‘xerox’ or ‘zerox’ is ‘to (photo)copy’ as well as the actual ‘copy’. 55% of mumbai’s population live in slums. Have seen some from the plane when landing.
