A one day speed date with Zurich, stopover on the way home. No more vibrant colours, lots of greyscale. Picturesque and super expensive.

Dharavi an eye opening experience. A lively community with problems but lots of spirit and hope apparent. Not as advertised in Slumdog.

Dharavi is not just residential. $665 million in industrial revenues. Recycling, pottery, leather, food, etc. Schools. Temples. Shops. Etc.
