Mumbai, just a quick week-end...

We went to Mumbai last month with Fabrice, just to spend the week-end. Our most interesting experience there was probably the train: First time we took the train in India, actually! (The logotype might look familiar to some londoners...) We could appreciate the... safety standards over there. Really impressive to see those doors totally open all along the journey, people jumping in and from the train, when it's still going, and sometimes, on the way, you see guys on the rails: Workers. If a train arrives, well, they might just jump on the side and go back until the next one! And in the end, well, it's like anything, you get used to it... Also, a picture of a cricket team in a parc. Cricket is very popular in India: A leftover among others from the british colonies. Something I really liked, is the color of the taxis: They have the exact same colors/look as the "rikshaws" (the indian "touc-touc"). It's like in a cartoon, daddy car and baby car, same uniform :)




Open day on the campus...

I let you imagine: Hundreds of hysterical schoolgirls, dancing on some kind of indian dance music (and singing... hem, shouting at the same time)... Well, at least, the campus was very much alive for a few days!
