After a long time I have taken some time off and traveled to Hong Kong for a week long vacation. I will be here till the 4th of Jan.<\/p>\n<p>The trip started off on the 27th with my departure for the Airport at 6:15pm for a 10:15 pm flight. The traffic was bad as usual so it took us almost one hour to get to the airport. Once I got there I found out that the checkin for my flight hadn&#8217;t started yet but the guy at the counter was nice enough to check me in. Then I wanted to convert some currency to Hongkong dollars so that when I get to HK I could use the facilities and purchase items if required but I was told that they didn&#8217;t have any HK dollars so I ended up buying US dollars. <\/p>\n<p>The flight departed on time but overall the experience was bad. It wasn&#8217;t the worst flight I have flown but it was up there in the top three. <\/p>\n<p>It arrived in HK on time and I got to convert my money to HK dollars without issues. I didn&#8217;t have the address or directions to get to Sakshi&#8217;s place (I am staying at their place) so I had to call them up to get the address and directions. Sakshi was nice enough to come pick me up from the station after I took the airport express to the HK city. <\/p>\n<p>Once we got home we talked for a while and then relaxed for a couple of hours, had breakfast and basically just chilled. At 3 pm we left to visit the casino&#8217;s in Macao. The trip to Macao was nice. We took a ferry to the place and the one hour journey are very comfortable. Initially the sea was a bit choppy but later on the ride was very smooth. <\/p>\n<p>Over there we went to the Venetian which is this huge Casino. Inside the Casino they had a show of &#8220;Zaia&#8221; which is a dream of a young girl who journeys into space on a strange, yet familiar voyage of self-discovery. As she travels, she encounters the beauty of humanity and eventually brings it back with her to share with the inhabitants of earth. So me, Vinit and Surabhi went for it.<\/p>\n<p>Basically the story is not the important part, infact while I was watching it I had no idea of what the story was. Its an amazing display of acrobatics\/performances. Think of a circus in a musical setting. <\/p>\n<p>It was a great experience and we all enjoyed it a lot. After the show all of us along with Sakshi and Manjesh spent a few hours at the casino playing Blackjack. (Actually they all played while I watched as I am not that big a fan of casino&#8217;s\/gambling)<\/p>\n<p>We then took the ferry back to HK and got back home. Had a late snack of Maggi noodles and everyone crashed. (I will do so once I finish this entry).<\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow is going to be a fun\/busy day. Planning on roaming around the city. Should be fun.<\/p>\n<p>Well this is all for now. Will write more tomorrow (Hopefully)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Suramya<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone.
