Touring Sights around Mumbai
"~ The charges are INR1200rupees each. The driver will bring you to whichever attraction you are keen to visit and wait for you until you are done sightseeing. For me the highlights were the Gateway to India, Taj mahal palace hotel, hajiali mosque and dhobi ghat. 
Personally i highly recommend this tour to anyone who has never seen Mumbai before and want to experience the life of the locals. Shouldn't take more den half a day.
We started at 11am and ended about 3pm

AER bar. (No discounts)
33rd Floor of The Four Seasons Hotel

Access is only made available from the ground floor when open form 1730hrs-0130, dedicated lift up. However you may stop off at your floor when going down. 

The place gives a semi paranoiac view of Mumbai. Great view, with a modern, chill-out atmosphere. Lack of seating though.
 
Drinks spot from approximately INR400 and up, with light bites approximately INR700.

Can Do:

High Street Phoenix Shopping Center
(Cab ride 5min at INR20+ or a 15min walk, 1.4km away)

High street Phoenix is a collection of 3 large buildings. Its main building offers nothing but high end shopping and big brand names. Prices aren't discounted in anyway either. The surrounding buildings are supermarkets and a spread of clothing and furniture speciality stores.

Some mention shops:


The Comedy Store

A standup comedy bar and lounge located on the top floor of phoenix shopping center. Ticket for the shows start from INR500 and up with drinks and small bites INR200 onwards. A great place to catch comedy talents and isn't too far from the Four Seasons.

Hamleys

Looking to buy a gift for boys and girls, this is a good location to check out. A descent spread of toys for all ages. From soft toys, action figures, craft projects, barbies, science projects and sprinkling of other items. 

Depending on items, prices are slightly cheaper than retail prices in Singapore. E.g. Nerf Guns were approximately 20% cheaper. Located in the main courtyard.

OM Book Store in the Grand Galleria
Located in building adjacent to Phoenix Shopping Center, OM Book Shop for cheaper book prints.

  3. Hawaii is made up of several islands and Kauai is one of the most famous and certainly has many activities to occupy tourists on vacation,and look over Best kauai kayaking .In fact, Kauai has so many things to do that you may not want to travel to any of the other islands because you are having so much fun
