So here it is...Shanghai, China... Things happened really fast the last couple of weeks... I had finished the previous project I was working on and thought I would take a much needed break and head home.... I was about to book my tickets when one fine morning I got to know that I will be working on a project for China and that it was happening very soon... Life has been really hectic after that...Didnt even realise that I was going outside India until the last day, when the Travel desk at my company gave a travel briefing...It suddenly hit me.. Shit.. this wasnt just Bombay or Delhi I was going to.. It was China. Shanghai.. I was going outside my country for the first time and I was going ALL ALONE..!! Now I was pretty confident about things initially, but suddenly there were a lot of questions in my mind.What if something went wrong? If i wasnt too well or anything? It wasnt that I was going to Bombay or Delhi or some other place in India where in case of emergency some long lost family member or friend would come to the rescue... I was going into the unknown..And I fear the unknown...
Anyways...here I was at Bangalore Airport checked in and waiting...caliing every one I could think of...unable to reach anyone for an hour or so...damn Airtel service is going down...I grabbed a bite at CCD and then luckily was able to talk to people... and then I was on my way.. After a nice dinner of Chicken & Rice with wine and apple juice.. I was fast asleep...Woke up just when the plane was about to land at Suvarna Bhumi Int'l Airport...Bangkok.. (FYI..I was flying THAI..)
About the Airport and the journey after that in the next post.... gotta grab some Chinese food for Lunch...!!
