We now sit in the famous Taj Mahal Palace Hotel in downtown Mumbai. This is the same place that was bombed by Pakistani terrorists on November 26th, 2008. It's also the place where President Barack Obama booked the entire hotel in November 2010. I can only imagine the disruption to business in this area. Traffic is like blood cells bumping and jostling each other in the capillaries and arteries that infuse this city with life.
This is not my style. What a hulking pile of pompous preponderance this place is. Fat Balkan boors in flip flops and fanny-packs bump up against gilt Sikhs. you must contact 12 people to get the least thing accomplished and each patiently waits way too long after the transaction is concluded in case more money should accidentally fall off of you. And I'm generally a big tipper if it's deserved.
On the other hand, it has some fine architecture inside!
