Trip to USA

So, this was like a never ending journey. While you are going to the US from Delhi, it takes about 4 hours to reach Hong Kong and then about 11 more to reach US.

On our way, we halted for a couple of hours at the Hong Kong Airport and tried to make the maximum of our time there. The Airport certainly is world class and equipped with all modern facilities including the wireless internet access (which was like a lifeline for us, especially the ones with slightly more tech bias)

So we did some shopping, had cofee and surfed on our laptops while waiting for the connecting flight.

Now Cathay it seems has 3 different types of Indian Meals: Chole Chawal, Chole Chawal and Chole Chawal (at least they tasted and looked like chole chawal)

Now the most interesting part of the journey was ...."my wife's murder"!!!

Yup they were showing the movie and today I am glad I didn't waste my money viewing it in a cinema hall. But it was great to kill time.


One more observation: inadequate washrooms. Throughout the flight duration one could see ques of passangers waiting for their turn...meri baari kab aayegi :-)

(But was it inadequacy of washrooms, or more than adequate food and drinks that a few people stuffed and hence the need for frequent visits...seems like intersting matter for some research)

So essentially the time was well spent:

watching my wife's murder

curiously anticipating the innovative food servings (remember chole chawal)

and waiting for my turn...


and by the time we realised that one could surf internet on board...it was too late...we landed in San Fransico, our destinaton. One of the most beautiful places in USA, where we were to spend about 10 days.

It's going to be fun...watch out for my next posting...
