Magnitude of a Crowd

I think you just have to be in India to really know and understand the meaning of the word. Okay, so maybe not only India, maybe Mexico City, parts of China, and a handful of other cities - but honestly, not that many places will make the cut.

As I go through Tanzania, I find it almost strange how there's no people anywhere (relative to India). I went to an apparently really busy market in Dar es Salaam, and I was like - this is what they think crowded means? They need to come to India, especially Mumbai.

I was telling our Arusha driver (Thomas) the population of India and of Mumbai, and his jaws dropped.

I guess everything in life is relative. And someone who's never been to India (or another close equivalent), will just not know what the maginitude of crowd really means.
