- The currency in India is the Indian
Rupee. Here are photos of the
100 and 1000 rupee notes.
One US dollar was equal to 52
rupees, so the 100 rupee note
is worth about $2 US.
- See monkey on fence above
my head? It almost jumped
on me while Paul was taking
this picture.
- A many pushing a cart down
a busy street in New Delhi.
- Nice banner signs when we got to airport in
Mumbai. Mumbai is the home of Bollywood
and also where the film "Slumdog Millionaire"
was filmed.
Shown are Paul and I getting our pictures
taken so we could show somebody where
we had been
My first corn pizza - everywhere
has different tastes. I do not
think that this will be a big hit
in Texas, however Indians in
general eat more healthy foods
than Texans do.

- Here we are at 7 AM waiting at New Delhi airport to catch a
flight to Mumbai. The air travel seemed pretty safe in India
even though we had heard that the airline companies were
all bankrupt! Sounds =just like American Airlines.
Long day at work. We are
waiting in Mumbai airport for
the fight to Hyderabad. This
was on Wednesday and we
were tired and the time
difference had caught up with us.

Ice cold water in a Mumbai
restaurant looks good but
is dangerous for us to drink.
I stuck with a canned soft drink.
Even Ajay does not drink the
tap water there in India

- Waiting for the bus to work just
like us. The mass transit is
better than it is in Texas.
These people are very smart
and hard working
- Building construction is different in India.
First, there are millions of unfinished buildings. I have seen that around
the world. Complete 90% of the building, do not finish and owner does
not have to pay the taxes on the building.
They use a lot of sticks to prop up roofs, walls and new floors, even if
they are heavy concrete.
