Today I am going to talk about city that I had visited is Mumbai. This is the financial capital of India and also called as city of dreams located in the state of Maharashtra. I visited with my friend in mid-July 2025. We travelled by flight from Ahmedabad to Mumbai and we went to the city for my friends’ admission into NMIMS college for management studies and we both travelled together to this city and we tried the local food like Vada Pao Sev Puri which was so delicious in taste and we also visit Marine Drive, Gateway of India, Juhu beach and it was a very good experience for me to see the sea ocean and the important thing that I like is the high infrastructure many huge building companies are there and easy transportation are available and there are the hygienic local restaurants are also there. The most important thing I dislike is the very poor drainage system during the monsoon season and it also creates flood-like moments and overcrowded trains are there that many employers travel every day and there is the high cost of taxis when we booked to reach the college from the hotel.

Today I am going to talk about a city that I visited recently, which is Mumbai. This is the financial capital of India and is also called the city of dreams, located in the state of Maharashtra. I visited with my friend in mid-July 2025. We traveled by flight from Ahmedabad to Mumbai for my friend's admission into NMIMS college for management studies. We both traveled together to this city and tried the local food like Vada Pav and Sev Puri, which was delicious. We also visited Marine Drive, the Gateway of India, and Juhu Beach. It was a very good experience for me to see the ocean. The important thing I liked was the high infrastructure; many huge buildings and companies are there, and easy transportation is available. There are also hygienic local restaurants. The most important thing I disliked was the very poor drainage system during the monsoon season, which creates flood-like situations. Overcrowded trains are common, as many commuters travel every day, and there is a high cost of taxis when we booked to reach the college from the hotel.
