Mumbai Nights
Mumbai is the new Bombay -- literally.
In the late 90's, with the certainty of a divorcée after a messy split, Bombay officially shed its colonial alias in favor of the more culturally accurate, "Mumbai". Bursting at the seams with a population of over 20 million, Mumbai is the commercial capital of Indian and home to the country's two main stock exchanges. Considered Hollywood East, Mumbai is also the epicenter of India's showbiz industry,"Bollywood".
While Mumbaikars still maintain various conservative cultural traditions, the city is widely considered to be the most liberal in India. That being said, women looking to avoid the judgmental eyes of aged locals should always have a companion when drinking in public - imbibing with others is fine; alone, not so much.
Mumbai is an eclectic, modern, urban metropolis that every amateur explorer must visit at least once in their lifetime. So, what are you waiting for? Book those tickets; a trip to Mumbai is an ethereal experience you'll cherish forever.
