November 2003: Most of the roads in Bombay have dynamic bandwidths - but buses have the right of way. |
 |
Driving consists of politely honking the horn to ask whatever is in front of the car (including animals) to move aside. That's why it says "Honk Ok Please." |
 |
There are a lot of contrasts - luxury homes with tons of marble, and across the street desperately constructed shacks. It's hard to take in. |
 |
Going to the restroom is an... "adventure" - especially for #2. In America this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. In India this is "no problem!" |
 |
Following the tradition from New Zealand, I needed a picture of me and a penguin... This penguin is unfortunately used as a trashcan. |
 |
In the Kanheri Caves there are a lot of caves and sculptures. I guess they didn't need silicone back then... |
 |
Priests were living in the caves. Al is standing in front of a very big Buddah, grabbing firmly at the toe so that he won't fall in amazement. |
 |
On February 28, 1948, the last British troops ceremonially left India through the Gateway of India to emphasize India's new independence. When the troops had passed through the crowds started singing Auld Lang Syne. |
 |
Now, the Gateway of India is a tourist-trap... This guy was playing with two cobras. He got bitten. |
 |
There are many luxurious hotels in India. This is the Taj Mahal Hotel in downtown Bombay. |
 |
And street-vendors everywhere. And autorickshaws (made by Bajaj.) |
 |
The lone Grandpa Monkey looking after his family. |
_parties_
 |
Melissa and me at the (Swedish) Christmas Party 2003. |
 |
José apparently had too much Christmas food. Or was it glögg? |
 |
The ever so cute little Lisa is taking pictures... |
 |
...and her mom, Sharen, is having a Kodak moment. Wait a minute, she's photographing me! |
 |
On Evelyn's Babyshower 2003, we guys were forced to participate. Man, it sucks having to attend a happening with free food, beer, and lots of women... |
 |
Alex and Gloria are discussing the latest technological advancements in medical science. |
 |
Ahh, free beer. Now we're talking. The grownups are playing. Alex is feeding Chrille some liquid bread. |
 |
And of course the mother (and father) to be has to receive (apparently really funny) gifts. |
_weddings & baptisms_
 |
In September of 2003, John and Laura got married in New Jersey. The circle was now completed... |
 |
The stunning bride and her (almost) equally stunning mother. |
 |
My two ladies to the table, Michelle and Danielle, and Laura herself. |
 |
Laura, her charming daughter, and her friend. |
 |
The Johansson's (and then some) by the fountain. Alana, Sandy, Nina, Anders, Amanda, and Melissa. |
 |
Nina and Anneli hanging out in the church. |
 |
Melissa and Harold, the proud god-parents. |
 |
But best of all were the grapes. |
