Bought air-ticket to Manila via Hong Kong, 5 months back!
Wanted to see whole Philippines, wanted to dive like a crazy, wanted to travel to Cebu in a Ship.
But today I am different from what I was 5 months back.
2 months back was thinking should I cancel trip or go elsewhere?1 month back was also thinking to postpone trip and then thought why not? Why not see Manila, why not try to meet many companies in Macati, why not taste famous or infamous Balut , why not visit Sabang- birth place of Scuba Diving?
And then thought what about work?how can follow up with prospects in India or co-ordinate with my colleagues in India and those based in different parts of the world?
So though not official business trip but carrying my laptop!so can continue pitching to companies, can have skype call with my colleagues or prospects!
Woke up early, had 2 conf-call, talked with my colleagues, took print out of Manila Metro Rail map, packed suitcase and back pack and left my flat for Airport.
After an eon traveled in a local train to Andheri. From Andheri to Airport Road Metro Station and from there Auto, only 1.1 km, walking distance but still traveled in an Auto!
Checked in early, got window seat, flight already late by 45 minutes, hope not miss connecting flight for Manila in Hong Kong!
At airport, every where Santa and xmas tree!
Feeling hungry though stuffed my stomach at lunch/brunch(?).
Yesterday found, transit time in Hong Kong, 6 hours and in Hong Kong can get free visa for 14 days, thought why not see Hong Kong Central and if possible meet couple of companies there and street food?
So, apart from Philippines, able to see another country, China, now Hong Kong part of China.
First time in China.
Soon 1 guy based in Guangzhou start working with us and want to visit many more times in future.
Shoulder and back paining, dont know how able to seat 5-6 hours?
