"We embarked on a thrilling journey from our school to Mumbai

Airport, where we seamlessly completed all the formalities before

boarding our Cathay Pacific flight. The seats were equipped with tabs
and headphones, offering a comfortable and entertaining travel
experience. Upon reaching Hong Kong, we eagerly began our first
day, immersing ourselves in the vibrant atmosphere. After arriving,
we checked into our hotel for a much-needed short rest, then ventured
out to explore an exquisite Indian restaurant.

Later, we hopped on a tram to ascend to the Peak Tower, marveling at

the breathtaking panoramic views of the city. Our next stop was
Madame Tussauds, where we encountered an impressive display of
100 wax figures, including our honorable Prime Minister of India, Mr.
Narendra Modi. The multisensory displays, along with an engaging
AR experience featuring singer-songwriter Jackson Wang and a selfie
opportunity with the talented actor Zhu Yilong, added an extra layer
of excitement to the visit.

The following day began with a visit to the Hong Kong University of
Science and Technology, where two Indian students, Vignesh from
Bangalore and Hansika from Noida, joined our group along with a
dedicated teacher. In the conference room, the professor passionately
explained the integration of AI into their university curriculum. The
key takeaway was the emphasis on approaching work with
enjoyment. We then embarked on a university tour, exploring the
state-of-the-art Engineering Experiential Learning Laboratory.

Next, we eagerly anticipated our visit to Disneyland, a long-awaited

adventure that lived up to its promise of excitement. Divided into four
groups, each led by a teacher, we enjoyed a day filled with
exhilarating rides, including pulse-pounding roller coasters. The day
concluded with a mesmerizing fireworks display around the castle,
creating unforgettable memories.

Subsequent days saw us exploring Ocean Park, where we marveled at

a diverse array of aquatic animals, rode a fast-paced roller coaster, and
experienced the exhilarating "Flash," a 360-degree ride. Winning a
soft toy in the games area added a touch of triumph to our visit. The
Whirly Bird ride provided a delightful and whimsical experience.

Capping off our adventure, we explored the Buddha Temple,

indulging in lunch and shopping amidst the serene surroundings. The
journey home from the airport marked the end of our incredible trip,
filled with laughter, learning, and a myriad of unforgettable
moments."
