Surviving India - Final Words

Spent the last day at the hotel ... negotiated half day rate ... successfully consolidated my two luggages into one ...

Come to think of it ... it was a good thing that I didn't get on the flight the day before ... otherwise I would not have been allowed to get inside the airport since I would not have remembered to print out the electronic ticket confirmation ...

I do have to say that the airport is quite yucky ... and from my being "lost" ... I think I ran over at least two guys' foot with my heavy luggage ... good thing that the India people are pretty "mellow". I'm sure if I was in Hong Kong, the guys would be yelling at me non-stop loudly for a long time (if you've been at MTR during rush hours ... you would know what I mean). I naturally arrived much earlier than I needed to ... and then found out there's no shopping or anything ... and the gate area's seats were quite yucky too, so I didn't dare to even sit down. Needless to say, I didn't stop by the ladies room ... and I was most certainly kicking myself for gobbling down 1.5 bottles of water when I found out that I could not take them past Immigration.

The flight back to Hong Kong was ok ... not as bumpy as the one going to India. When I stopped at the Singapore airport, I rushed to get a bottle of juice ... so nice and cool, haha (I didn't dare drink any even at the hotel). Singapore airport is really quite nice ...

Oh by the way, if anyone saw me on now.com or NOW TV ... yes, that was really me ... the silly person who has no idea what she's talking about ... on the new taxi pickup arrangement at the HK airport. However, since my response was not negative enough, I have a good feeling that it was not broadcast.

On final words ... it pays to be prepared. Just when I started thinking that I dragged that whole 1+ luggage of food and water for nothing ... I found out late last week that my customer from US who was there too ... got sick for 2 days after he got back ... spending most of the time in the bathroom. He said he almost went to the hospital ... hmm ... hehe.
