Mummy's trip to Mumbai

So, its been over 10 years since i last spent my mum's birthday with her. Since i left London when i was young, i've usually visited London on holidays such as Christmas or Easter. Sometimes, i can head over for a week or so in the summertime.  So this particular birthday of her's was special. Not only was she spending it in Mumbai, but she would be spending it with me! :) I wanted to make sure her birthday was a big hit so i organized a cake to be light when we arrived at my apartment at 2am in the morning, with a cake set right next to it.  She was totally shocked!!!The look on her face was priceless!


I then took her to Hard Rock Cafe Mumbai for a lunch......since i know the owner there, i knew he would make her day memorable :)


Then, what is a birthday weekend without some mumbai sightseeing...??

Every day, many children come to my car window begging for money.....last night, as i was doing some work and writing in my notebook, a small boy came and stared at me writing in amazement...when the light turned green, i quickly rolled down my window and gave him my notebook and pen...I've NEVER seen a child so happy......

BANGKOK!!!


This was on our second day in Bangkok at our hostel....probably the best hostel ever..NapPack close to the famous Khao San Road! As if being me and looking different didn't scream out "tourist" enough, these shirts surely did!


We spent Sunday exploring different places in Bankok....here are some friends we met at the hostel that came along with us on the tour! Some of the guys are wearing funny looking pants because shorts are prohibited in the palace.  Guests are expected to be "well covered" from head to toe.

 After a 12 hour long bus ride, we arrived on the island of Khao Samui!!!! So beautiful!!
