Thanks Art for your reply? are you an expat?

I am not an expat.I am trying to form a group of Expats wishing to learn Hindi or Marathi and people like me who wish to learn European languages like Spanish.
I provide Assistance to Expats, Students,Tourists (ESTA)and most importantly volunteers free of cost in terms of information and interpretation of Indocentric matters.
Which are the languages you speak?

Hi mmeniano,

Mumbai may not be the most scenic place to live but it sure has a lot of positive things to offer.

Hope your experience has been good so far:)

Hi mmeniano

Mumbai is certainly a very good place to live in though a bit weary due to huge population burden it is carrying over its shoulders.

Let me know where are you planning to accomodate.

I am from Mumbai and I can certainly help you (of course free of cost )

some information for your dear friend

Mumbai has been developed in a linear form unlike other cities which have developed in an encircled manner. So generally downtown is on the southern end and most of the residential space is on the northen side.

Having said this trains and buses and auto's (tuk tuks) are the common means of transport available to commute within the city. All the modes are safe. Trains are quickest and very very cheap.(10 rupess for 30 kms distance)

Buses are also frequently available (we call it as BEST buses) and even they are cheap..but the only problem is it takes long time to travel on roads as the infrastructure is weak.

Mumbai is safe, the problems are about traffic, lack of infrastructure and overcrowd. However, please note, there are many great opportunities as well!!!

Hello,

I know what you mean.. and its true... but everyday 100's of people come to this city with dreams.. and desire to grow.. and the best part.. Mumbai has always fulfilled most of their dreams.. Its a city with big heart..

Hey,

Welcome, I've reached Mumbai as of yesterday and am staying and working in Worli for 3 months during the rains! From England initially, although I'm a Patel so do try to blend it (not really working with the lack of Hindi!).

Be good to meet some non-finance guys / girls during some of the weekends - I hear Bandra is the place to be!

Jai

Welcome to India!
