I'm about to make my first trip (as stated in a previous post) to Mumbai. I've never been to India, so I'm pretty excited about this trip. I've been RTFF, so I'll be going to CH and NL (if I can find it, everyone makes it sound impossible), but I was also going to try to head down to Falkland Rd. I know it's really seedy there, but that's my kind of thing anyway.
I'm worried about personal safety on Falkland Rd. Is it even safe to walk around there as a white tourist? I was thinking it might be nice to have a local guide, but posting on Craigslist for that doesn't seem like it would work. Any suggestions there? Mumbai doesn't have an equivalent of Jakarta After Dark, does it?
Also, I'm going to be staying near the Central Railway station, so if anyone is interested in hanging out, it's always best to meet up with local mongers.
