Mumbai

Hey everyone,

I want to tell you something about Mumbai.
The city with its over 13.9 million inhabitants(only city, no suburbs), is the centre of finance in India. It is the most important seaport in its county and with 437.77 km²(city) also the biggest. It is the 5th biggest city in the whole world.
Till 1995 Mumbai was called Bombay. This is the reason why some old people had never heard ''Mumbai'' before:).
It is a very interesting city because of its turistical attractions, like the Gateway of India, the Elephanta Caves or the Hanging Gardens of Mumbai, which are next to Mumbai's big slums. In the movie ''slumdog millionär'' is shown how poor the people in the big slums are.

This picture shows one of Mumbais' slums.
