โœˆ๏ธ My HiveFest Adventure - Day 1: Landed & Checked In ๐ŸŽ‰

in HiveFest โ€ข yesterday

๐ŸŒ… Hello Hive Community Members!

Hey everyone from the Hive Fam! ๐Ÿ’š
Hope you had a fabulous weekend! Today marks the final day of our HiveFest trip โ€” yes, time to head back home ๐Ÿกโœˆ๏ธ

If you haven't yet, check out my previous adventure where I shared the crazy ride to HiveFest! ๐Ÿš—๐Ÿ’จ Letโ€™s pick up from our landing in beautiful Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡พ and continue the story!


๐Ÿ›ฌ Off the Plane, Finally!

After touching down safely, we began the airport marathon walk ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ to reach the pickup bus.
And wow โ€” couldnโ€™t resist clicking that sunrise pic ๐ŸŒžโœจ shining right over the airplane wings. Mesmerizing, isnโ€™t it?


๐Ÿšˆ Airport Metro Ride โ€” Not a Bus! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Airport Bus Ride ๐ŸšŒ

Confession time: I initially called it an airport bus, but nope! It was actually a metro ride inside the airport.
In India ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ณ, we usually take shuttle buses ๐ŸšŒ, so this sleek metro surprised me! ๐Ÿคฃ


๐ŸŒ„ Another Sunrise Click!

Another Sunrise ๐ŸŒ… click

Couldnโ€™t resist one more sunrise shot ๐ŸŒž
The sky was glowing above the rows of planes โ€” a picture-perfect airport morning moment.

By now my eyes were begging for sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด but my excitement said โ€œNope, HiveFest awaits!โ€
Body: tired ๐Ÿฅฑ | Mind: energetic ๐Ÿคฉ | Neck: in pain ๐Ÿ˜– | Hygiene level: zombie ๐ŸงŸโ€โ™‚๏ธ
Every second of exhaustion felt so worth it for HiveFest love โค๏ธ


โœˆ๏ธ Airport Exploration Mode: ON! ๐Ÿ‘€

The airport was HUGE โ€” a total playground for aviation lovers ๐Ÿ›ฉ๏ธ
I felt like that baby meme gif going โ€œwoooowโ€ every 2 seconds ๐Ÿคฉโฌ‡๏ธ

๐Ÿ•’ The Check-In Dilemma

Uh-oh! Check-in wasnโ€™t until 3 PM ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
After that long trip, all we wanted was a hot shower ๐Ÿšฟ and a comfy bed ๐Ÿ›๏ธ.

Reception didnโ€™t allow early check-in, so plan B โ€” food hunt mode activated ๐Ÿด
We dropped our luggage off and dashed to Banana Leaf ๐Ÿƒ restaurant at Suria KLCC Mall.

Ordered Dosa & Idli because comfort food always wins ๐Ÿฅฐ
(These pics are from Google โ€” because when hunger strikes, camera goes off ๐Ÿคฃ)

Dosa & Idli

They offered a combo with a drink choice โ€” Milo, Coffee, or Nescafรฉ โ˜•
Of course, I went for Milo... but man, it was sugar overload ๐Ÿซโšก

๐Ÿจ Back to Hotel โ€” Finally!

Head back & check in but poor view

Returned by 11:40 AM, begged for early check-inโ€ฆ and voila! ๐ŸŽ‰ We made it!

Sure, the view outside wasnโ€™t amazing (blocked by another building ๐Ÿ˜…) but who cares โ€” there was a shower, bed, and peace.
Post clean-up, ate some homemade food ๐Ÿฒ and crashed like hibernating bears ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’ค until 5 PM.


๐Ÿค Meeting with @techcoderx

Meeting with @techcoderx

Checked Telegram and realized most folks were already having fun at HiveFest ๐Ÿ˜Ž
Luckily, @techcoderx came by for a meetup ๐Ÿ™Œ

We discussed our presentations, exchanged feedback ๐Ÿ’ก (his advice: โ€œFewer slides, more storyโ€), and had a solid idea jam session. Later, we even went for groceries ๐Ÿ›’. Productive & fun evening!


๐Ÿ’ฌ Wrapping Up Day 1

And that wraps up Day 1 of our HiveFest journey!
From zero sleep to sunrise clicks, food hunts, and tech talks โ€” it was a rollercoaster ๐ŸŽข

Stay tuned for Day 2: The Real HiveFest Kickoff ๐Ÿš€

I'm glad the first day went well, except for not being able to make an early reservation. There are two things I'm most curious about regarding Hivefest: first, meeting new Hive users, and second, exploring that city and country. I hope you get to do both. And of course, learning more about Hive and witnessing its development.

Yep
Did all three - meet, know & visit
Thank you for reading my post & dropping a comment @incublus
