After the fun night the next day, I went for a Rolls Royce drive to meet Hong Kong's renowned Sam's Tailor boss Melwani over English High Tea at The Peninsula Hong Kong hotel. He is an Indian tailor who is known for his A-list clientele; the shop was founded by Sam Melwani in 1957 and is still run by his sons, Manu and Sham Melwani, as well as his grandson Roshan Melwani. Post that, I then went on the very famous Star Ferry ride to experience the Victoria Habour and enjoyed the cool breeze and the fantastic view of the skyscrapers that cover the bay.
I then went to 'Ocean Park', which is a marine mammal park, 'oceanarium', animal theme park and amusement park, situated in the Southern District of Hong Kong. I thoroughly enjoyed "The Flash" a ride that spins you up to 22 metres into to air and 360 degrees around. One can find cute baby panda show pieces and soft toys at the 'Panda Kingdom Shop' souvenirs shop.

My visit to Disneyland brought out the child in me as I jumped at the sight of this colourful place! 'Eeyore the donkey' used to be my favorite Disney character and I finally got the opportunity to meet him at the Flights of Fantasy Parade that happens every evening. He looked cute and adorable in his pink bow as always. The 'Space Mountain Adventure Roller' coaster was a thrilling experience. I really thought I was out of space.
I went to Madame Tussaud's Hong Kong which exhibits over 100 incredibly life-like wax figures. My favourite ones were Albert Einstein and Johnny Depp, since they looked like clones to the original. I also saw our Bollywood star collection of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Shah Rukh Khan, Kareena Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan. It was a proud feeling to see Bollywood shine in other countries too. Dinner was at the Tim Ho Wan restaurant at Shum Shui Po where I relished a wide selection of dumplings and other finger licking food items like spring rolls, pan fried radish cake, barbecued pork crispy bun.
Sandhya Mridul, after captivating everyone's hearts with her performances in films like Saathiya, Page 3 etc… went onto show her exemplary dancing skills in the popular show 'Jhalak Dikhla Jaa'. It's the same Sandhya, who recently had a whale of a time during her visit to the magnificent Hong Kong. She shared some of her most memorable experiences, exclusively with Satish Sundaresan of Bollywood Hungama. Over to Sandhya…
I started my tour with a visit to the 'Sky 100 Hong Kong Observation Deck' which is the highest indoor observation deck in Hong Kong. After this refreshing experience, it was then my turn to experience the nightlife. And in order to do that, I went on the Big Bus Night Tour which showcased the vibrant night life of Kowloon, the neon spectacle of Nathan Road and the fantastic Symphony of Lights show over the Victoria Harbour. The tour provided a personal recorded commentary available in a choice of ten languages. The Big Bus Sightseeing Tour- a safe and relaxing way to experience this great city. It was a perfect introduction to Hong Kong and a fun night out.
