Random Stuff

Had the privilege of staying in the Mumbai Central Train Station on Wednesday night. We got in at about 1:30 AM and figured it wasn't worth it to get a hotel for 5 hours (our train left at 7:25 AM). Best part about doing this was the late night sandwich and juice duo (or maybe it was a quartet) we stumbled across.

If I were to rate these guys on sheer convenience and quality, he'd get 7 stars (this rating actually exists in India). They were a little hard to spot, mainly due to the lack of lighting, but all we really had to listen for was the "whur" of the blender on a dead night in Mumbai. The juices were of upmost quality...sweet pomegranate and pineapple, and the sandwiches were uniquely grilled. For the sandwich guy, his motto was "All filling, no bread." I wish Subway was like that....

So we hung out on plastic stools, were harassed by drunk guys, and took pictures of a real "sandwich artist" at work. At about 6 AM, we returned for a second round of juices. If you're ever caught in out predicament, stop by these guys for some solid food at ridiculous hours.

Adding to my list of places i've had tap water in: Goa, Mumbai, and Delhi.

Yeah thats true. I have stayed in bombay for sometime and there are many things/people there we would find with normal/average [2 star] packaging delivering [quoting yourself] 7 star stuff.
