India is a country full of dichotomies and contradictions. Nowhere is this more evident than Bombay. The gap between the rich and poor is staggering. An exclusive five star hotel surrounded by the slums. A Mercedes S-class wading through the sea of chaos that is Bombay traffic; weaving through rickshaws and even elephants, stopping for the occasional cow. A top-ranked campus within a city of 16 million people having issues with leopards attacking monkeys, dogs, and even students. Having white skin will land you many stares; people even come up to take a picture with you. There's culture shock here with just about every part of life. It's a lot of fun.
