Friday/Saturday May 25/26 Back in Bombay

Bombay is turning into Jenneli and Brooke’s shopping paradise. That’s pretty much all we did Saturday and Sunday during the day. Not only that but they went to the same shop that we went to a couple days before, FabIndia. It indeed is a pretty fab place as even I bought a few shirts that will double my India wardrobe. Luckily this time we were with Sumati, Ganesh, his brother and a friend of hers, so we had company and an idea for how much things should cost.

We didn’t really have a place to stay for the evening Saturday and were trying to figure out where to stay when Ganesh suggested the place right next to his parents apartment! It worked out great. Sumati and Ganesh were a little surprised at how easy going we were. I think they had the impression that if it wasn’t as nice as an American hotel we wouldn’t like it. Obviously they haven’t seen our apartment in Pasadena! They quickly figured out that we were up for anything and ready to have fun.

Sunday evening we all decided to go to a club and dance. Unfortunately when we got to the club they told us there was a dress code, men have to have pants, and apparently the attendant we talked to on the phone gave us the wrong information. Ganesh saved the day by working out a solution. You’ll have to ask him how we managed it.

We had a few drinks and the girls started tearing up the dance floor. The guys danced a little too. I went up once to dance with the girls but apparently you have to have a partner to get on the official dance floor. It upset me a little but it’s not my country so I got over it. After the dancing we headed back home to pack and catch a flight in a few hours. We decided it was best to not sleep the night before Brooke had to leave and besides, we needed to party.
