What I like about Mumbai
I've been to a number of cities in India, but only Mumbai could win my heart. In my attempts to understand the reasons, I made a list of things I like about this city. Here it is:
1. Mumbai trains (he he, it.s true)
2. Architecture (CST, The Municipal Corporation Building, The High Court etc)
3. Sunrise (view from the Hanging Gardens)
4. Street food .
5. Double decker buses
6. The sea
7 Authentic oriental markets
8. Cheap entertainments for kids
9.Museums
10. Local charm - well, it's describable

Oh, just remembered one more thing. I also like the sounds of Mumbai. At first it was just a noise for me, more irritating than the heat. But gradually I stopped noticing it and even started liking as a background sound I know, it's crazy

You should explore Kolkata:
1. Has trams, much more charming the trains
2. Architecture: much better than Mumbai in many places and more in number becaus of 200 years as India's capital under the colonial rule
3. Sunris: Since Kolkata is in the east of India, sunrise is earlier. Try it at Victoria Memorial or on the Hoogly.
4. Street food: Kolkata has much better, in variety taste and abundance. Ask anyone and they will tell you Kolkata has the best street food in India.
5. The sea: well, the sea is 40km away but the huge Hoogly river is right there.
6. Authentic oriental markets: there are many.
7. Cheap entertainment for kids: there are many. From the botanical gardens to Nicco Park.
8. Museums: the National Museum in Kolkata is one of India's largest and best stocked.
9. Local charm: you've got to see it to get charmed
