Macau – The Asian Casino Capital
Created on August 21, 2011 by Kunal VahaliaI have found memories of my trip to Hong Kong and Macau. As soon as I landed in Hong Kong, my tour organizer had first arranged a trip to Macau followed by the 4 days stay in Hong Kong.

Attending the famous Pushkar Fair in Rajasthan
Created on August 17, 2011 by Kunal VahaliaI had heard so much about the Pushkar fair in Pushkar, Rajasthan, India.
