Hi. I got to travel to Mumbai in India. I have never been to India. To tell you the truth, Ive never heard for the town Mumbai. How that I have just heard for the town? Is it a big town? Does India have many poor inhabitants? Thanks in advance.

Haha. Silly you. I see that you are not good in geography. But dont worry; in Asia cities are often changing their names. Mumbai was formally known as Bombay. Do you have a clue now? I hope youve heard of Bombay. Well, now you know it is a big city. They have had some bad monsoon rains which were catastrophic for the lower economic categories of population. Especially for those who live in shantytowns. Shantytowns are not rare in India. But they are a great problem, because they are the first to be destroyed in monsoon rains and hurricanes.
