To separate the next part.

Yesterday was a nice day. First we Went to this burger king, not the international chain, someone here registered the name before them. Let me tell you that was the best burger I ate in my life. It costs 40RS/7Kn/0.9euro. It contains meet stake 2 cm thick (I am not exaggerating)
really soft and with really great sauces. If they went global burger king(the real one) and McD s wouldn't stand a chance. At that place we meet a couple of aiesecers and our host Vicky introduced as AI EC (Aiesec International evaluation committee). When we came to the meeting people were hanging around us interested where we are from, but sa soon as the EB guys spread the word that we are AI everyone started to avoid us. You think this is too much. Their LCP wanted to go a step further so he presented us to 60 AIESEC Pune members as distinguished guests , AI directors Sam and John (our indian nicknames). So we got up and Mirko did a nice AI speech. Since they have about 70% new members, their recruitment was a month ago, now there are about 40 people who think we are AI. They didn't even clear things in the end, only a few people who actually had the courage to talk to us learned the truth. Also people here are totally taken by the game ZOOM which apparently doesn't exist in Asia Pacific region, so we will implement our good case (drinking) practice in their LC.

So , we bought the bus tickets and went to Pune. A city200 km away from Mumbai. There we met the AIESEC people we hang out at the conference. They really took good care of us, we are currently staying at Vickys house, he is VP in Aiesec Pune. We will be attending their LC meeting today.The city is really nice, no people sleeping on the streets, very few beggars, and no one is traying to sell stuff to us in the street. In Mumbai, the drum selling guy followed us for like half hour, in the end we bought a nice drum that costs 20 euros in the store, for 3 euro. The price we told him was actually a joke, but apparently here that is a normal price for something and he agreed in the end after trying to increase it for half hour. We also checked out some stores, and apparently you can get a nice taylor made suit for a good price. The cheap suits are like 50 euro, but for 100 you can get the fanciest suits, made of really quality fabrics. We are going to check out some of them today and probably order one.
What else to tell you, it rains at least twice a day, but when the sun comes out it gets hot really fast.

We contacted the Aiesec Mumbai crew and hang out with them yesterday, they are really nice, and we will be hanging out with them today as well. In the evening we went to see their AIESEC office, and guess what, as soon as you step out of the office, there is a pool there. They have a poolside office at the health center, they also have a small gym 30 m away. I am sure miro and the bodybuilding team would be really happy with an office like that. We invited them to have breakfast with us at the crappy place where we eat(we are probably the first europeans to set foot in that place) because they have the best food, but the indian people said they dont eat at places like that, because they have weak stomacks and could make them sick. Everyone was warning me about diareaa and stuff, and now it apperas we are much more resiliant than the locals. Let me just tell you all the scary stories you heared about India are simply bullshit, when I come back I will tell you what India is really like, and let me tell you it is a really nice country. The only problem with malaria is the anti-malaria tablets which make you sick like hell and I am not taking them anymore. Now is early morning, and we have people to see and places to visit. Check in later for an update.

P.S. Thanks shefica for the promotion on AIESEC .net

So to catch up my blog with the actuall time. We are in Mumbai now for three days, on the first day in the evening we went to the supposedly the in club in town called Velocity, we arrived there at around 00.30 hours, paid 800 for the entrance 17 euro, a large amount in India, but you get lots of free drinks included in the price. When we got in there were maybe 20 people there, so we thought, the people will probably come a little later, it is still early, so came 1.00 am and they turned on the lights, we found out that all the clubs in Mumbai close at 1.00, can you belive this shit, we payed an average Indian monthly salery for a half hour and some drinks.
We spend the whole second day souvenier shopping and didnt buy a single souvenier, Lonely planet suggested this as a good spot to buy souveniers because they have fixed price, the problem is that we know they cost about 1/3 of that if you haggle in Delhi or Agra. This price can only be good for Asian people or old Americans becouse when they see them the street merchants severly overcharge. In the evening we went to that see food restaurant I mentione in my previous large India report.
Our plans for today are to find the AIESEC Mumbai people, and check out their office, I have heared they have a swimming pool, i think we should immplement that in Croatia :)
