Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata! What a wonderful phrase
Hakuna Matata! Ain't no passing craze
It means no worries for the rest of your days
It's our problem-free philosophy
Hakuna Matata!
Hakuna Matata?
Yeah. It's our motto!

So I went to trip to hongkong-macau with arnd 50 member from talentica. 11-14 th Jan to mark this date.
It was first time I went out of India, but its like ek hi paththar me 2 chidiya marna..I made visit to Singapore,
hongkong and macau. the trip was quite eventful and overall enjoyable experience.
with all kind of expected/unexpected problems rolling up in front of us...it was still Hakuna matata...

so starting with one project team facing some problem in their project, delayed our start from pune itself, then 6hr long wait at mumbai airport as flight for singapore delayed then again missing flight for hongkong at singapore, then 12 people including me got caught in some unknown probelms at immigration in hongkong, then in 5 members lost their way in ocean park, then 2 guys losing their passport in macau, then getting back their passport after whole night search and finally to complement it, one guy got caught at customs check in mumbai, as he bought the camera from hongkong.. :)

but all this problems doesnt stopped us from enjoying things. so starting from mumbai airport itself, while waiting for flight I met my old colleague, with whom I worked in cmc-xilinx. lots of old memories refreshed. It was unexpected meeting so really was big surprise. As we needed to take connecting flight via singapore to Hongkong, we got chance to see Singapore, We took short city tour in Singapore which was free. though it was quite boring tour, it was just worth a bit to tell people that I went to Singapore too. :)
And then we reached hongkong, We really had good fun at Disney land in hongkong, where we saw a live lion king show where artists performed lion king story , it was real treat to eyes. then river cruise and 3D Micky, the concept of sprikling water on audiance made show different from other 3 d effects I saw in theaters. other than that we relived our childhood by playing different games their. and Not to miss the Fireworks in the Night, then Next day was in Ocean park where We saw panda then we got behind as sunil was busy in shopping so we got separated from our group. it is not good thing to miss from group as later 5 of people lost their way and we had to wait for them for 2hrs at the gates. that lost and found experience if described will take a blog itself. but I will write abt it at some other time.
we gambled for sometime in MGM casino in macau. and came back and had a good sleep in hotel.

and then we took ferry back to hongkong and then a return flight from hongkong to Mumbai.

so Hakuna Matata in Pune.
soon will post link to photos.
