$100 Taxi Ride: Hollywood/ Bombay

It's the city that's made of dreams- Hollywood!. From all over the world people come here in pursuit of that elusive brass ring. Even our taxi driver Joe has come here looking for work-not as a cabbie of course. Joe came here 20 years ago to be a star. He got work as a Chippendale Dancer and as a centrefold for Playgirl Magazine. Joe takes me to Griffith Park, the setting for some movies most famous scenes, including one from Rebel Without a Cause. Nearby I find a memorial to James Dean. On Rodeo Drive, Joe points out that the shops are so exclusive the doors are locked and shopping is by appointment only. Next we're off to Bombay, our guide to Bombay (Mumbai) is an ace taxi driver named Pandy. With him we see pigs that fly, eat the evocatively-named "Tomato Stuff" and clean up afterwards at one of the world's largest clothes-washing facilities. And when, after a nap in the park, our shoes go walkabout, Pandy knows just where to find them-a detour to the Thieves' Market!
