View from Apartment, Navi Mumbai
Still in Mumbai, and having a pretty good time. Every single meal is a feast of vegetarian deliciousness! The actual city reminds me a bit of Jakarta, and probably every rapidly developing mega-city; great poverty metres away from great wealth, really fancy buildings right next to shacks people have built out of whatever they could find (usually big sheets of corrugated iron.)

One of my photos from flickr ended up on this website, some sort of online travel guide. Mine is the photo they used for the London Eye. They have obviously been pulling down tags from flickr, but they did ask my permission before using it, so pretty neat.

*laughs* Are you *sure* it's your picture of the London Eye. Nevryn was asked permission for his picture of the London Eye to be used... and he just sent me the exact same link :P

They seem to have a huge selection of photos for each landmark they document and bring up a different one at random each time.

I got an e-mail from the same people asking about using a couple of photos of mine I took in Melbourne; told them politely to bugger off since they seem quite keen on taking advantage of "free" photos to use on their money-making endeavours.
