    I landed in Mumbia, formally known as Bombay, on September 25th around 2:00am. Landing in any foreign city is a completely overwhelming experience. Especially in the middle of the night.  Everything is unknown and seems unsafely exciting. You are fresh meat. And every single person at the airport knows it and is ready to milk you for all they can. You know it's happening but there is nothing you can do. It's the initiation. A test. To see if you can hack it.  Friends are such a valuable resource.
