While moving to a city like Mumbai, the person should consider somethings like the area where the person is going to live in; What are the transportation facilities, is there a grocery store nearby? How much is the rent of the apartment the person would be living in? Whether the person is gonna be happy after moving in the city.

Mumbai is a well connected city. Still one should be aware of the crowd and especially if you are commuting from local trains it can be way more hectic than expected. As a wanderer there are plenty of places for street shopping for antiques and other accessories. Also, one should try the street food at ‘khau gali’ meaning the ‘food street’.

Mumbai is the city that never sleeps. Over the years, Mumbai has been a one stop shop for all those who wish to reach the stars. Be it Bollywood, fashion industry, academics, theater; this city has it all. There are tons of opportunities for everyone if you are the right place, at the right time.

A word that best describes Mumbai is ‘exhaustion’, so beware- the city is going to make you really, really tired!
1. It’s going to be crowded to the point of suffocation
2. It’s going to be dirty, smelly and downright unhygienic
3. For the most part, it’s going to be quite expensive – especially housing
4. Everything spoils/ruins easily – the food, your clothes, the furniture

However, Mumbai has a rich and cosmopolitan history. Look up the Parsi culture, the colonial times, the fishing communities and the Sindhi-Gujju-Marwadi markets. These are some unique treats my city has to offer.

My city is crowded by people, vehicle and many other things. Never expect any personal space while travelling, as people are very close to you even when it is not crowded. Be aware of traffic, as it has caused many to be late at work. There are many street vendors who sell goods at a cheap price which can be further negotiable.

Mumbai is known for its fast-paced and colorful life. Perched on by the side of Arabian sea, Mumbai is known for being India’s film city and financial capital also. If you are in Mumbai, you must try the street food along with street shopping. Some of the must see places include Gateway of India, Marine Drive, Colaba.

Mumbai is the capital of fashion and Bollywood. It was formerly known as Bombay. The Gateway of India landmark is its symbol. It’s also called the city of dreams because it offers limitless opportunities for people. Vada Pav is the iconic dish of Mumbai. It has a number of tourist spots, the Marine drive, Elephanta caves, Haji Ali shrine and so much more.

House rental prices are less, there are multiple food joints and multiple ways of transport available easily. Although, it’s far from center of the region, however you can reach to the main city in one hour. including all the cost factors, the cost of living is quite less compared to the rest of the city and this make it one of the preferred areas.

The people here are very friendly and great helpers! There are wonderful amusement parks near the outskirt of the city, and it’s a great place.

Someone moving to Mumbai should know it is a crowded city, to say the least, so one should expect traffic jams and big crowds everywhere they go. Another thing to consider before moving to Mumbai is that it has one of the highest real estate prices in the country and thus, living conditions in the city are hardly ideal.

If someone is considering to reside in Mumbai, either temporarily or permanently, be aware of the rising property prices along with lack of clean air. But nevertheless, the life in the city is full of energy and vigour. The food here can make a dead man rise and the sunset is as beautiful as the sunrise. For there’s a reason why Mumbai is called the beautiful land of seven islands.

Someone who consider moving to Mumbai must know that Mumbai is famous for its nightlife, Vada pav and for filling dreams of everyone. It’s called “sapno ka shehar”. Be ready to be pushed around if you’re walking in a crowded area including a market, local train, station (basically most places) etc. Nobody even cares to turn around and say sorry. One cannot travel in a taxi everyday as prices are very high.

Mumbai is the financial capital of India. Mumbai has all the attractions that one looks for when moving to a new city. It has high skyscrapers, views of beautiful beaches, and India’s most dynamic shopping places. My city is home to various eateries where one can taste different cuisines, local and international.

1. Crowd: Mumbai is a hub, people moving to Mumbai should be ready to be pushed around if you’re walking in a crowded area including a market, local train, station (basically most places), etc. People won’t even turn around to apologize and don’t expect it from you either.
2. Accommodate yourself near your office or college.

anyone who wants to move to Mumbai must consider the high rental rates of the properties. as Mumbai is an island, the land is scarce hence high in demand, therefore prices have skyrocketed. If you do not have a high paying job you will have to compromise with the standard of living you wish to have.
