Happening Hyderabad

the most interesting immigration segregation I ever came across...hardly any security to speak about...
you come in on one way, go thru the immigration, U turn back to almost the same point that u queue for the immigration to get to the baggage area...there is no security barricade nor any segregation of the 2 areas...before and after immigration...
theoretically, a passenger can get out w/o going thru the immigration...incredible india!

the transport for airport transfer didn't turn up, we managed to get the hotel to arrange for transport...the ride is short, about 12 mins, roads are in much better condition than Mumbai, but the car A/C is terrible. hot air is churning out of the A/C, i felt hotter inside the car than outside...
taj residency...reminder me a bit of Novotel hotel in Wollongong...but still not as good...as the one at Wollongong has a balcony with seaview :)
everything is chargable...internet is chargable, breakfast is chargable...i wonder what else...

had dinner with an old friend of mine from india...we got to know each other in s'pore...when he was working for 6 yrs there...
first he drove us around to have a look - Indian School of Business/Microsoft/Wipro etc...huge buildings...then we had a great discussion over dinner...a very open discussion = (read equate to) freedom of speech
abt what was given up by us in return for progress...can't discuss more here
the gist is "are we thinking?"
