DAY 1

The ill fated day of separation arrives!! But astoundingly the adieu is not tearful!!
Probably boarding an international flight for the first time all alone is a thrilling experience!! ;)
The Mobile Phone helps keep in touch with the most loved ones, till 15 mins before takeoff. For once, I do change my view of the mobile phone being a nuisance!!
The location despite being in the economy class, feels classy. A Personal TV with headset makes the journey fun. Fun??? Naah. The real fun part was when the plane flew through the cotton clouds. Touching a max altitude of 11752m and outside temperature falling to -22 degrees Celsius added to the thrill.
The ear drum was perhaps the most pained throughout the journey. The turns of the plane along with the dives for landing strained a much tired membrane. Though my brain, which is not a much larger membrane was also nearing its end!
Passing over Dhaka was much the same as passing over Calcutta. After all, I can't differentiate much on the basis of cloud cover!!;)
Hong Kong airport was an interesting experience in itslf!! A veryyyyyyy long airport and then numerous escalators and then a metro, just to get to the luggage collection area!! Phew!!
Airport is the worst place to exchange currency, but I had to, so I did it. Took a Metro ticket and was headed to the Hong Kong Central.
The metro ride was awesome as we passed real tall buildings. Buildings with so many flats, such that each flat just looked like a matchbox. And the city is basically a concrete jungle, though it doesn't seem that gloomy with its carefully planted trees.
Finally, a taxi ride brought me to my station of solitary confinement! :((
The room is great, but it makes me wish for once, that I had some one to share this room with!! Are you coming????? ;)
