I went to Jakarta, Hong Kong and India on a business trip from Oct 28 to Nov. 13.
This was my first trip to Indonesia and south of the equator for that matter. We stayed at the Fairmont which was really nice. The hospitality, rooms and breakfast were all excellent with a special mention of the rain showers they had in the rooms. It literally felt like bathing in a waterfall! It is a country of contrasts and we met and saw people from all socio-economic levels! The only thing that was difficult was getting vegetarian food - much more difficult than I had imagined. Barring really fancy places, it was even difficult to explain what vegetarian means (Indian-style).
This is my second time in Hong Kong and I did the central mid levels escalator for the first time. Hong Kong is a developed country for all practical purposes, and vegetarian food was much easier, if you had someone that talked the local language.
Finally, we landed in Mumbai. This was my first time in my native city as a tourist which made it interesting. We stayed at the Trident which is a nice hotel. The food was really amazing, which shouldn't be much of a surprise.
After completing the work stuff, I headed over to Surat to spend Diwali with parents which was nice!
