Crawford / Aer

I found myself at the Crawford market area in south Mumbai today. My attempt to discover the scope of this market was useless, it was kind of an endless maze of shops spanning out from the Crawford. Among the more interesting things I noticed were the bats which seamed to be following me around the fruit market.

The Gate

The Gate's pretty popular, definitely a touristy type thing. Within 1 minute out of the cab I was ambushed by business people on the street. They offered to clean my ears, tried to sell me weed, or would try to just follow me and ask me questions and then beg for money for the "help" they had just given me. It seamed that darting into traffic across the street helped me evade them, insults helped also. I was able to get in and get some good pics though, and then even made it over to the Taj Mahal Hotel for a drink!
