Phil's Mondo India Slide Show
Sights of Bombay

From some of the most expensive real estate in the world to the slums of Bombay, which are so numerous, it's mind boggling.



Since there is money in Bombay, the poor flock here, creating horrific overcrowded situations (which apparently is still not as bad as Calcutta, 16 million and growing). This is a common site, a corrugated iron village. I can only imagine how hot it must be in one of those apartments.



Leave it to Indian ingenuity, a two story corrugated iron condo! The poverty is just overwhelming here in Bombay, in contrast to the wealth, and the begging very aggressive, which is saying a lot in a place such as India.
