A Mumbai Adventure: Delivering a Gift and Buying Gold (DAY 8)
Tumblr media
Delivering a Gift and Buying Gold Arriving in Mumbai Arriving in Mumbai, we went straight to the hotel. We slept for a few hours, then around 7 o'clock we went to deliver the gift to the person waiting for us in Mumbai. We decided to meet somewhere around the Andheri train station in Mumbai, as it was very close to our hotel, so we decided to walk. Meeting at McDonald's We reached the train station somewhere after 6 pm, and then our search began among the hundreds, maybe thousands of people. I can say it was dark, and we agreed to meet at McDonald's near the train station. This lady we were supposed to meet has a friend in England who works with my girlfriend. They've known each other for many years, and her friend in England, upon hearing that we were going to India and that we would also visit Mumbai, decided to send her a gift. The gift was a high-quality and quite expensive watch. We took the watch from England, rode with it on the motorcycle from New Delhi to Agra, then to Jaipur, and finally to Mumbai, where it reached its destination. After about 10 minutes of searching in the train station, we managed to see this McDonald's, so we went in. We had the number of the lady we were supposed to meet, but she was still working and finished around 6 o'clock because in India people don't work from 8 to 4, they work longer hours. Arriving at McDonald's, we managed to meet her; she was happy to receive the gift and thanked us. We recounted the adventures we went through until we reached Mumbai, had a cold drink, and then headed back to the hotel, as it was quite late, somewhere after 8 o'clock in the evening. Buying Gold for My Sister Walking on the street where the hotel was, we saw a shop selling gold. We went in and planned to buy some gold for my sister who was in England. We started making video calls to England, and that's how we spent 2 hours in that gold shop. We asked for over 50 pieces of jewelry. When it was 10 o'clock, the owner said he had to close, but he said, "I'll close the shop, and you can still buy gold." Here began the problem with the internet, bank transfers, the call was dropping, and we were running out of battery, but eventually we decided to buy 2 gold chains that my sister wanted, and my girlfriend made the payment by card because we didn't have that much money on us at the time. Somewhere around 11 o'clock at night, the owner packed the jewelry, and we went out, heading straight to the hotel. Exploring Mumbai   We slept until the next day, and then we set out to explore Mumbai as it is, with all its beauties. FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1. How did you manage to transport the watch from England to Mumbai on a motorcycle? A1: We securely packed the watch and carried it in a protective case to ensure it remained safe during the journey. Additionally, we took necessary precautions to prevent damage from vibrations or sudden movements. Q2. Why did you choose to meet at McDonald's near the train station? A2: McDonald's served as a convenient landmark due to its proximity to the train station and its recognizable presence, making it easier for both parties to locate each other amidst the bustling crowds. Q3. What precautions did you take while purchasing gold jewelry in Mumbai? A3: We ensured to verify the authenticity of the gold and the reputation of the store before making any purchases. Additionally, we carefully inspected each piece of jewelry and sought recommendations from locals to make informed decisions. Q4. How did you overcome communication and connectivity challenges during the purchase of the gold jewelry? A4: Despite facing internet and network issues, we remained patient and persistent in our efforts to complete the transaction. We utilized alternative communication methods and sought assistance from the store owner to ensure a successful purchase. Q5. Why did you decide to buy gold jewelry during your visit to Mumbai? A5: Purchasing gold jewelry served as a meaningful gesture, allowing us to acquire unique souvenirs and gifts for loved ones while experiencing the local culture and traditions of Mumbai. Q6. Did you face any difficulties while navigating through the crowded streets of Mumbai? A6: Yes, navigating through the bustling streets of Mumbai posed some challenges, particularly during peak hours. However, we remained vigilant and adapted to the surroundings to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience. Q7. How did you manage to balance work and leisure activities during your trip to Mumbai? A7: We carefully planned our schedule to accommodate both work commitments and leisure activities. By prioritizing tasks and maximizing our time efficiency, we were able to strike a balance between productivity and relaxation. Q8. What advice would you give to travelers visiting Mumbai for the first time? A8: We recommend conducting thorough research on the destination, including local customs, attractions, and safety tips. Additionally, remain flexible and open-minded to embrace the unique experiences Mumbai has to offer. TRAVEL PRO GUIDE Read the full article

Ultimate Motorcycle Travel Tips for Exploring India: From New Delhi's Streets to Royal Enfield Rides
A market near the hotel in NEW DELHI   Here I have prepared a list of travel tips for India, especially for those who choose to explore the country on a motorcycle, tips extracted from the article "Discovering India: From New Delhi's Streets to Royal Enfield Rides". 1. Choose a Comfortable Mode of Transportation: I advise you to rent a comfortable motorcycle to travel around India. If you travel every day using a motorcycle, you will understand why I say this. The position on the motorcycle should be like on a chair without forcing certain parts of the body. 2. Be Prepared for Unique Traffic Conditions: Prepare to drive in a new world where car horns rule. Don't expect anyone to give you priority just because you signaled. If you already look at how to drive, you'll want to give up. If you start driving, you'll curse all day, so prepare for the worst, but don't give up. 3. Accommodation Considerations: When choosing accommodation where to stay, check to have electricity, water, and a cooling device such as AC or a fan, because you won't sleep all night. 4. Pack Wisely: Don't take clothes you'll never wear, pack them properly, and your life will be easier. Try to be as flexible as possible with your luggage. 5. Stay Hydrated: Water is the most important fuel for a person who wants to live in extreme conditions. So buy water all the time and keep a reserve with you. Yes, it heats up, but if you don't have it, you could die. Don't expect there to be water everywhere. 6. Acclimate to the Climate: Try to adapt to the climate. If you're outside, stay in the sun, use sunscreen, and go through the city at midday. Yes, it's hard, but if you stay during the day in a hotel room with the AC ON, YOU'LL NEVER GET USED TO IT. 7. Explore Local Cuisine: When you're in town, go and eat wherever you can. You won't die, but that's how you'll get used to the food if you want to take a few meals a day during your trip. If you don't want to eat because of the ideas in your head, you'll be weak and you'll feel bad. Better 10 minutes in the toilet than 3 days in the hotel room because your body isn't satisfied. 8. Stay Vigilant: Be careful with the money, check the change you receive, and ask the price, and then pay. Don't pay as much as you're asked for. You'll get an idea after a few days. But the price is negotiable. 9. Embrace Cultural Experiences: Try to understand the local culture, from nature to people. Everything in India is a different world. It's like a story. 10. Stay Positive and Flexible: You'll encounter many problems, but try to stay calm and solve them, but don't make quick decisions in a panic. Where the problem is, there is also the solution. Don't make big plans for the near future, because problems are everywhere. You need time to understand and make things go better. I don't want to give you a bad impression about India. I want to tell you that it is a wonderful country with wonderful people. I just present the events that happened during my journey as they were. If you read all my articles in the future, you will discover why India is a wonderful country. I didn't choose for what I write in my articles to happen, so everything was unplanned and what happened were real events. If you have any questions or concerns, please add them in the comments. I will be happy to tell you and respond to all your inquiries. Read the full article
