Was lucky enough to part of history and that too without much effort. The Olmypic Torch took the route just outside my hotel. Needless to say that atmosphere was electrifying and for once I saw the people of Hong Kong smiling brightly.
Don’t just sit there…do something !

Mel – Yup babes it was awesome. The crowd was so well-behaved…too hard to even imagine something like this in Indian cities. Anyway…see you soon.
Moallif – Yes, very true. But thanks for being pushy about it.
Fas – The experience was great. I am mean its not everyday you walk out of your hotel to witness the Olmypic Torch pass by.
