I am so in the BLAH zone right now that everything here for the next few days will be very discreet.
- Bad journey.
- Tough luck for Harith, this being his maiden flight experience.
- Flight to Bangkok got delayed by an hour.
- Why do all flights other than Air India to and from India are inferior to every other flight in the world in every aspect? I did not consider Air India because it is too fucked up.
- Hyderabad-Bangkok - Food, environment and hospitality were pathetic.
- Bangkok - Food was OK and the rest was great.
- Bangkok airport is beautiful and HUGE. We had to walk a little more than a kilometer to get to our connecting flight.
- Slept in the plane for the entire time.
- Shanghai airport feels like a really big Begumpet airport.
- Had to wait for 2 hours for the "special" RoboCuppers bus.
- The bus then did not move for another hour.
- Had to experience the humid climate of Shanghai, worse than Visakhapatnam.
- Reached the dormitory 3 hours later.
- Some Iranian team was too "busy" to reserve rooms in advance and so we had to stop at every damn hotel for them to check for vacancies. They finally ended up at the dormitory.
- Saw countless men, and I repeat - MEN, just lying on the roads and lawns, without shirts. The reason became very clear the moment we stepped out of the AC bus.
- The hospitality team is awesome, very friendly people.
- Special thanks to a girl named Kenny (do not remember her Chinese name), who gave us a very warm reception and helped out whenever possible.
- The dormitory room is excellent (Will update with pictures later).
- Able to accommodate 4 people in a room, with all the necessary furniture, which is 1.5 times the single room in GHEB.
- Attached bathroom and a very powerful AC, what more can one ask for?
- Rent is RMB 180 (INR 1260) per day, which is pretty good for the quality of the room and service we get.
- Had Oreo and Chips Ahoy! biscuits for dinner.
- Slept peacefully after a very tiring day.
