Foreigner travels to SRI LANKA
Good morning, guys from our next video here on the channel and I’m very excited about today's video because it's the beginning of a new series. As you probably could tell already by the title, I’m heading to Sri Lanka today and I’m actually in Lebanon. I’ve been in Lebanon for the last couple weeks which for some of you that might be a bit of a surprise because I’ve been releasing Pakistan videos but actually I filmed a whole bunch of Pakistan videos so I could take a little time off right around the holidays, come see my two favorite people here we've got Mabel. Hi. Habibi.
And we've got the bro, Fawad. Good Morning. Sabaho [Good Morning] bro Kifak, Kifak [How are you?] Yeah, he's a natural exactly. Sadly guys, I’m leaving Lebanon right now though. So this is the first and last time you're gonna see them in this video actually well when I’m saying bye to them but right now we're saying bye to good old Lebanon. So I’m sad to say bye. This is where I’ve been staying right here in Zaitunay Bay. So you have nice views of the city here. We've got
the what do you even call that? The port, you call that the Zaitunay Bay, the bay of all the boats down there. And this is the little apartment right downtown. So packing up right there as you guys can see, we got the backpack and the usual bag and it's time to say Allah Hafiz [Good bye]. Nope, that's in- that's in Pakistan. Yeah now we're doing language changes. Guys so comment the words I should know here in Sri Lanka so I can make sure I’m known I’m saying the right things. Goodbye to the apartment. We will see you later. Yalah [Let’s go] guys.
Yalah, Yalah, Yalah [Let’s go] Alright, goodbye to the place I’ve been staying at. Lebanon wants to send me away right now. We’ve got cloudy skies and rain almost every day so. I hope there's a storm right now you stay longer. I know right exactly cancel the flight and we stay a bit longer. I wouldn't mind to be
honest but no I’m gonna miss you guys too very much. Don't worry guys we'll have a full season 2 Lebanon series coming later this year but obviously if it's raining like this every single day can't show you as much, can't show you the beauty. So we'll be back for sure. There's the old FJ I’m sure you remember this thing from previous vlogs good Lebanese food. Oh yeah, this is how we picked up Fuad. Fuad picked us up.
Malak al Tawuk. Yalah [Let's go] Guys let me know in the comments is this good luck while I was just walking, the birds just pooped on my suitcase. I know it's good luck if it happens on your head but it didn't happen on my head, I don't think. Thank goodness. What about me? No, I think you're clear bro.
We got Habibi coming to the rescue with the tissues down there. Merci. [Speaking in Arabic] Oh thank you habibi. There we go. We get this bird crap off here. Nothing like a good bird poop to get the day going. Yeah, it's gonna be G double O D. Let's go. Yalah guys, Yalah, Yalah, Yalah [Let's go] Front seat habibi.
Yeah alright. Alright, guys we are enroute to the aero port. We're seeing signs of it literally. This is my fourth time flying out of the Beirut airport in the last seven months.
Wow, this is a lot of feels like the first time. I know it's sad right now for us guys saying- saying bye. I always hate these airport drives whether it's in Lebanon or also when I’m- when I’m leaving my home in the United States that's just the car ride especially right now it's like a gloomy day outside so it's like no, I don't wanna say bye but khalas [Enough] as we say here. We have some fun stuff coming up later in this video guys. You guys look at this rain. Lebanon saying you have to leave and I’m saying
I don't wanna leave. I think Lebanon might be crying. I’m driving slow bro. Yeah. On purpose. Yeah, that's true bro. Anjad [Seriously], Fuad is the natural-- Yeah guys drop a comment below if you think Fawad should start a YouTube channel. If you haven't seen Fawad because you're new to the channel then
go back to my Lebanon series and he's in every single video. Yeah, yeah guys you can just hear the sound of the rain. Oh we got a little sun breaking through though. Guys you never know you might be picking me up from the airport in a little bit if the flight gets canceled. We’re probably embarrassing the singer back here, yeah.
Well in that case here comes the song. Oh this reminds me when I left Lebanon the second time or a week before, we were heading down to or through Cida down to [__] but I actually never made a vlog there so that'll be another place that will add to the list later on. Have I ever went to the airport when it's daylight? Actually yeah every time but I’ve never actually flown out during the day from the Beirut airport. This will actually be a new experience we're coming up on it sadly. Here comes the song.
We got habibi doing a debut right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah I’m driving really slow. I don't know guys we're coming up to the airport like I said this is my worst favorite part, it's saying goodbye and there it is the Beirut International some exciting new adventures ahead of us. So got to the hardest part, let's get to the airport every single time I tell you whenever I leave a place that I love, it's never easy but that's the fun in life. We'll come back again at some point in Lebanon and until then,
let's do it. There it is right there. We’ve got Doha this way, so the flight begins guys. I’m taking a flight from here in Beirut through Doha then Doha to Sri Lanka. So I’m not gonna arrive until like 2 a.m. Hate arriving in the middle of the night but that's like the best price flight so whenever I get to a new country as always, I like to arrive you know during the day to get my bearing straight but it honestly never works that way. Oh I would have had a little more time with Fawad and Mabel the line for once is not too long there, must not be that many people flying to Qatar.
That’s the flight right over there. Just got my boarding pass got through security and I realized I made such a stupid mistake. I didn't realize that I needed to get an e-visa for- for Sri Lanka. So like I told him I was like no cause I’m American, I don't need a visa on arrival and then I was like how come I was asked multiple times I was like maybe I do so I messaged my buddy, he's like yeah bro I told you, you gotta get an e-visa. So I have my
boarding pass, I’m gonna go apply for it and I guess we'll see if I get it in time, a bit concerning but I have about yeah like 10 hours till I get there so that'll give me enough time to hopefully get it back in time since it is an e-visa so usually those process quick. My buddy told me he got an email within 10 minutes and other people it took a few hours. So as they say, Insha-Allah [God willing] it would be possible but I’ll keep you guys up to date. We'll at least be fine today because I have the boarding passes. So guys just sat down here, got a little pear juice, got some chips because I needed something while I am applying for my visa because I am literally so stupid. I cannot believe I made that mistake but honestly I think that I’ll get it in time. I believe that I will but only time will tell. So I’m gonna
check out now because apparently this is a long application. Alright, good news is the beast has been applied for says I’ll get a response within 24 hours but I’ll be there in 12 hours, 10 hours something like that so fingers crossed. It is three hours ahead in Sri Lanka that means it's roughly 3, 2 p.m. Yeah 2 p.m. now so hopefully if someone's in the office, they're checking applications. They're gonna see that
one otherwise I don't know I’ll be coming back to Lebanon, we'll see. Four minutes after I submitted the visa I’ve gotten the visa so that has to be the fastest visa application process in terms of approval. It's probably through an automated system I would guess because yeah it says I now have eta approval and I can enter. So thank goodness, didn't know if I was gonna be coming back to Lebanon or not but you know I feel like every trip I take in the last like two years, I always have some sort of hiccup like this but it's totally my fault. I should have literally
just read up if there was a visa because most countries these days I feel like you need a visa but cheers we'll see you in Sri Lanka then. Alright, guys we're back enroute to Sri Lanka. Well, first stop of course Doha, Qatar and it seems like there's not too many people flying out of the airport here in Lebanon today. It is pretty quiet. I think 13 is the gate that I’m going to. It’s kind of hidden though. I guess we'll find out in a second boarding was started five minutes ago so hopefully it didn't board too early see though.
Doha, Doha where are you? Doha gate two now. Alright, so it completely changed on me, that makes sense. It was 13 and then I was gone for a bit so I guess we'll find it here. Alright, just trek to literally the complete opposite
side of the airport and here's gate two to Doha. So we'll see you guys once you get on the plane. Hello. Alright, and here we go. We are heading in. Thank you. Alright, first stop we're heading over to Doha and then it will be I think maybe like a four hour layover and then head over on another plane to Sri Lanka. So here we go guys, the journey begins.
Alright, journey begins. Leaving Lebanon bad to say bye but I’ll be back. I’ll definitely be back sooner than later. Here’s what we got on the menu guys. We’ve got a little couscous. We've got some I think chicken. Oh yeah, we got rice there. I wanna say
there's some chicken maybe mixed in there got some bread, some white wine, some sort of dessert maybe some cookie stuff at the bottom and a couple waters. So some nice views outside as well. My favorite view just looking out the window on an airplane nothing like it.
Tasty, got the Middle Eastern style. it's kinda like a curry taste to it. It’s good though, very good for airplane food Qatar’s always got great great meals from what I’ve had in the past, that's quite a delicious meal. Guys I didn't really share with you guys me eating it because I- I know sometimes on the airplane you can't really hear the audio super well so I figured I’d just tell you right after that. Yeah super good,
the rice, the curry, the chicken, everything and after your little dessert right there, got a water, got a coffee. And surprisingly or not surprisingly most of the world's like this but like yeah it's- it's really nice that like on only a two-hour flight you get a meal. It's like in the US like I’ll take like four hour flights all the way across the US from like New York to California for example and there's no meals on it like you can buy snacks and things but like you don't get a full meal like usually it's only when you go on international like long haul flights.
So, very good Qatar is always a good experience. Made it to Qatar. About halfway there. I must say it's almost-- Alright, we got the next bus here, our man's gonna hook us up.
Oh there we go. Alright, guys we've made it to the car. As you can see, it's quite dusty out here but it's a nice temperature. In Beirut, it was quite cold so now to finally have some warm weather. I’ve been ready for it. I left my winter jacket with my friends
back in Lebanon so no winter clothes anymore. We're done with the winter season this year, At least that's the plan for now. So we're gonna take a quick bus ride over to the main terminal and then we are gonna hang out probably for like two hours or so, see if there's a lounge available or something to hang out upload some videos and then after that take a three-hour flight or something like that. Three or four hour flight to Colombo so still a bit of a journey but slept on most of this flight so it's pretty relaxing. Bus trip is done.
As you can see, it's getting pretty dark here in Doha and we're walking in, heading up. Alright, we're in the Doha airport, got probably like an hour so to burn, gonna walk around see if I can maybe find a lounge here and maybe something to eat here too. So let's do it. It's a pretty awesome airport here though you walk right out in here, you got palm trees very well lit, some sort of statue over here, can't necessarily tell what it is maybe a giant teddy bear or something like that and a lot of shops. I’m definitely gonna come back and explore Doha, Qatar at some point, not sure yet when but whenever it's convenient when I’m back on this side of the world maybe sometime in the spring here's what we're looking at from this side world- world's biggest maybe it says teddy bear pretty big one. Alright, so I think I found the lounge
here, gonna go to the Oryx lounge. Seems like it's right this way and here we go. We're going up to the second floor, so here we go. Oryx lounge looks quite nice, seems like there's a bit of a line. Wow, it's so busy here today. They gave me a lounge pass to the one across the way. So we're retracing our steps and heading
to the other side just to go up to the Omaha. Thank you. Alright, guys we are on the other side cruising up gonna check out this lounge. So there must be partners if they were able to write me a lounge pass because that one over there that I was originally gonna get in is completely full. I’m not surprised. Doha is always like a super busy airport just because it's such a hub for a lot of the world and oh looks quite nice as we walk up to it here we are business class lounge. I think this is a bit of an upgrade then yeah. Alright, guys we're entering in
the business class lounge here. Alright, I’m liking the design here. We’ve got plants great when you walk in and an inviting setup here pretty decent size and let's see here, seating down here. Alright, let's see what we've got here. Oh yeah, can I have a glass of champagne please? Oh alright, then. Beers okay, thank you so much. Oh perfect. I appreciate it tonic water. Alright, well let's maybe try one of these out a little glass of wine here.
Oh and the bottles are empty. So it looks like that's not happening start out with some water, see what we have for snacks over here. Oh yeah, get a little focaccia roll that'll do. And hello. Good and you? What’s the good stuff to get here Asian sesame noodle? Good stuff, everything is good. Oh perfect and some tabbouleh feels like I’m back in Lebanon, that'll do.
I think that's enough to get me going. It’s a good starter right there. Alright well, let's eat, get a nice little snack. I’m sure there'll be one more meal that I eat on the next flight so don't wanna eat too much, just a little something, something to take the edge off. Alright, let's try this first one out and see if it's any good, smells quite nice. It’s got a bit of an Asian zing to it. Pretty good kind of a bland flavor but honestly something kinda simple that I need right now because I’m not super hungry, just a little something take care of me.
That is nice. Let's try out the tabouleh here, Definitely not Lebanese tabouleh. I’ll tell you that but it's okay. So for me to get in this lounge, basically I have this thing called the priority pass probably have to and then so basically like when I’m traveling all around I can get free access to lounges wherever because I have this credit card called- called the Chase Sapphire Reserve. This is definitely not a sponsored video. I’m just telling you why I go to lounges because it doesn't cost me any extra money and it's a great way to burn time in between the flights, have a snack, have a beer if they were available and the wine because I’ve got about 10, 15 minutes left then gotta go head over to the gate like 10 minutes away walking. It’s pretty good food.
Some focaccia bread. Gets the job done. Oh that was a solid little snack. I’m in this recliner chair, pretty comfortable. Actually I gotta be careful cause I could fall asleep just
sitting here. Oh yeah, But gonna be hanging out here for another five minutes or so and then cruise on over to the last and final flight for the day, see you in a few. So I just walked past that massive teddy bear and I looked at the sign and actually said it's world's best airport so I guess Doha takes the win. I always thought that it was Singapore that had the best airport but I guess not. I guess you got gold all around here, quite a nice setup over here. So we're walking over the gate, seems like the flight's already boarding about 6:30 p.m. now so
just enough time to cruise on over hop on and get to Colombo. I’m not sure how many hours ahead Colombo is from here. I wanna say maybe two hours from here. I’m not positive about that so let's head on over guys. Alright, guys I think we're walking up on the gate I wanna say A1 is to Colombo this is it next stop Sri Lanka. Looks like I’m the last one in line. This line stretches all the way down here. Well last but not least right
at least we made it. Alright, now it is time to head to Sri Lanka here, just went through the last check-in process and now it is full speed ahead. We got the plane over there. I think this must be a partner airline of Qatar because I don't think it's a Qatar plane. I guess we'll find out soon here. Yeah hello, good evening. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Alright, here we go Sri Lanka. I gotta learn some words and can't remember what
the there main language is but we'll definitely find out as we explore guys. Entering the plane looks like quite a vibe up there in first class but I’m too cheap to ever pay for first class so going back here pretty full plane ride. Well, I didn't share much with you guys on the flight honestly I was pretty tired same as the flight from Beirut so just made it to Colombo. It's
like 3 a.m. so I have like no energy in me. So I’ll see you on the other side of customs. Oh yeah, we're definitely not in the Lebanon winter anymore. I can feel that humidity already. Here's the Colombo airport and we're going to navigate through, see what we can find. I gotta find a place to exchange some money, gotta find a taxi cab and figure out what the night's gonna be looking like. So here we go, pretty quick and efficient customs process took about 10-15 minutes or so and we are in. So we're walking up here
this way, can pick up some goods over here and I’m gonna go look for a place to exchange some cash and then get an Uber or a taxi whatever I can find here so let's do it. Alright, looks like right when we walk out, we've got some options to do an exchange here. These are guys right here, let's see if they can hook it up. Hello my friends, I need to exchange some dollars please.
Passport, there we go. Guys they make it quick and easy as soon as you literally walk out of customs, you have the exchange guys right here so that makes it easy. What's your good name? Nice to meet you Mac. What are these called rupees? Oh there you go. Alright, it's gonna be my first Sri Lankan rupees here. First visit? Yeah first time in Sri Lanka, excited to be here staying for a solid month. Yeah there we go guys. We've got the 100 USD exchange rate, 203 so we've got 20,000 to spend here. Thank you very much my friends take care. How do I
say- how do I say thank you in the Sri Lankan local language? Istuti [Thank you] Istuti [Thank you] my friend. I’ll see you later. Alright, well we've got the cash now guys now it's time to find a sim card and then means of transportation then we're coming up to our last step in the process here. So if you have a QR code, there's a health declaration form you have to fill out so if you fill that out in advance, you can get through here. It seems like pretty quick that the line's moving but I guess we'll see and then on the other side, we've got a couple options for mobile data over there. So that's good news. Looks like we- we found our spot
here. Oh 60 gigs of data. 60 gigs anytime data. How we doing my friend? We've got good data here yeah fast data. Alright, well 16 dollars? Yeah unlimited data. Oh perfect, can I have one of these please yeah and it
works for one month. Perfect. Alright, yeah so you guys that's 60 gigs for 16 US dollars so pretty good price to take care of us, pretty much for the whole month because unless I’m doing a lot of hot spotting usually 60 gigs will last me a while because I had 60 gigs when I was in Lebanon for the last two weeks. I think I only ended up using about 17 gigs so I never had a hot spot. So the reception is good all around the country? Oh perfect, perfect.
Oh telecom then, yeah that's the best. So SLT-Mobitel is the best in the business. Yeah you heard it live guys. This is it, yeah proof that this is the best- best network so that's why you should always ask locals before you sign up for one of these. There we go. So good news is this is all unlimited here so that's in addition to 60 gigs? Addition, yes. Wow.
Perfect, perfect. So there you heard it guys, we're gonna be surfing the web the whole time we're here perfect so we're all set. Oh yeah, we've got the 4g data kicking already for 16 bucks. Our man took care
of us in about five minutes so it's pretty good. Thank you my friend, I really appreciate it. One question, what's the the most cost-effective way to get into the city so what's the most the cheapest way to like take a taxi or Uber or? Uber yeah perfect. Yeah over there yeah but Uber is cheaper. Yeah perfect. I appreciate it, take care bye. Alright, all within about 25 minutes of getting off the plane, got through customs declaration, didn't check any bags exchanged money and got a- I think I’m all set. Thank you my friend. I’m gonna try a couple things my
friend thank you. Hello my friend. Oh if only I had one of these but I don't think I have one of these so we'll see if we can pick up an Uber that's what our guy says the most cost-effective way to get over there so we shall see. As they say, welcome to Colombo. We're here hello my friends. How are we doing? Everyone's probably a little bit tired. It's like 3:30 in the morning. Alright, here we go.
Hello where do I go to get a get an Uber my friend? Yes. Where do I go to get picked up by an Uber pick up yeah for an Uber. Uber yeah. Near the post office. Oh perfect, thank you so much. Alright, so right when you walk out you take a left and over here is gonna be where we get picked up for an Uber so somewhere over here. Let me tell you it is hot out here, very humid. I’m ready to get out of the sweatpants, the track jacket. It’s gonna be a warm one out here. I’m thinking I’m gonna try and hop in an
airport taxi here here because otherwise if I take an Uber, it's seven minutes away so looks like we've got a sign right over here, our guy can hook it up. Hello my friend, how are we doing? We got good prices here for taxis. Yes, yes. Oh that's amazing. I’m looking to go to the Galle Hotel. It’s the Galle Face Hotel. Just over two thousand
but the problem is you have to wait about seven minutes here they probably got a taxi ready to go for us and it is 3 am. Two thousand nine fifty you got yourself a good deal there. Alright, so we'll pay, we're paying about ten fifteen percent more but you know once again efficiency at the moment since it's 3 a.m. I’d rather get to the hotel bed, get some sleep here. You can pay to the driver. Pay to the
driver yeah? Oh just me. Mac, M A C. Alright, guys here we go so this is Colombo at the airport. Alright, guys we've got the taxi ticket now we just gotta wait a little bit we've got the airport taxi sign there and our guy's gonna be heading over this way he just called him so. Oh yeah, I am ready to strip down out of these clothes though. It was a pretty long travel day I will say. I hear he's
gonna be hooking us up with the ride. Hello. Alright, hey what's your name? Mangla. Nice to meet you, Mangla. My name is Mac. So Mangla is gonna be taking us. How far away is the hotel? The Galle. Galle Face Hotel. You know that one? This is it you know that hotel really here you know the hotel? Galley Face Hotel. Galle Face Hotel? Yeah, yeah. How far? How many minutes? This is-- Oh yeah, 20 minutes.
Alright, let's do it. Yep. Here we go. Not sure what the extra 300 is but hey we'll work with it. We're hopping up front here with our mans. Oh, there we go.
Oh it is warm guys. Wow, wanna know the great news I learned from my mistakes and in a lot of my Pakistan videos, I didn't have a light and now- now guys as you can see, got the handy-dandy light so we can stay nice and bright here. So here we go, let's do it. Yeah guys we have quite the long ride, we have about a 37 minute drive and it came out to roughly like 2,900 Sri Lankan rupees so that's about 14, 15 dollars and I’m in this in this big van so literally could have fit like I don't know maybe like 10 people in here so and I’m very curious how this light is because it's so bright right now, it's almost hard to look at the camera so I hope it's not like blowing out my face too much but I guess I won't find out until I edit this video. Anyways, yeah really good experience flying into the airport here like just the fact that everything was there ready to go like the sim cards, the ease of getting through.
It was very efficient you know so that was a really nice start to the experience and yeah probably of course maybe I paid slightly more you know getting a sim card and a- and exchanging my money at the airport but obviously it's more of like the convenience thing at this point I wanted to get the sim card most importantly just have that box checked. I do have Google Fi so like I have backup cell phone signal but I just wanted to kinda get that done with and then whenever I’m in a new country, I like to have some of the local currency even if it costs me a little bit more to get you just never know what you're gonna run into and so yeah of course when I exchange my next 100 dollars or whatever then you know I’ll look for maybe a better exchange rate and I don't even know how far off mine was from like what the best exchange rates are that are going but you know I just know from experience at airports that that's what you'll pay. So yeah, we got a nice little cruise here. We’re probably gonna get to the hotel around if the time is 3:30 yeah we're gonna get there just past 4 a.m. So I’ll probably be sleeping in quite a bit tomorrow but we'll at least check in with you guys at the hotel maybe do a very quick tour but I will say that in tomorrow's video, we're gonna do a more in-depth tour of this hotel. It's been rated as one of the best so I’m very excited to show you guys and thank you for the tour.
So guys we're about five minutes into the drive and so far the just the first impressions driving in it's very well lit up in terms of street lights here, infrastructure, roads, everything's you know very nicely modern designed like toll booths are all modern like it's- it's a very nice layout. Generally, from what I’ve seen on the signs, they're in two languages. They're in the local language as well as they are in English so if you're driving here, I think that's good news for you if you speak English obviously. Yeah also they drive on the left side of the road here. So as you can see, I am sitting here on the normally or not normally but in other countries where I’m more used to it in the driver's seat but actually I’m in the passenger seat on the left side. So yeah, about 30 minutes left of the cruise. If anything interesting comes up on the
way I’ll show you guys but other than that, it's pretty dark out so you really can't see too much like besides my face because the light. So let's cruise on down and welcome to Sri Lanka officially. So we got our guy here so it's 250 to get through the- the tolls here and it's cash only so keep that in mind. You can't pay with a card here quick and efficient process, gate agents yeah nice and chill. Oh thank you some change there. So we're entering into the outskirts of Colombo right now, our driver just told us here and it's very nice so far like driving in here I already saw some tuk-tuks as well. I’m definitely gonna be cruising around on some tuk-tuks later maybe I’m considering even renting one so I can drive it around but we'll see if I end up doing it or not. It'd be fun if I was with someone
you know to go on a tuk-tuk like a road trip around the country so who knows, maybe we'll get the British lad out here in a couple weeks, see if he wants to rent the tuktuk but no promises there. We’ll see if he shows. Not sure you can see much of it but what we're looking at is a bit of the skyline. You can see some of the buildings up there, and it's just look at how modern and nice it is here. To be quite honest with you, it's given me a bit of a like a Thailand vibe you know to a certain extent which is cool. I love Thailand so it's you know, it's got some similarities
to it for sure but very unique from what I’m seeing in its own ways as well. As you guys can probably hear from my voice, I’m fading and it's almost 4 a.m. so it's a little past my bedtime. Luckily though I just came from Beirut so Beirut time it's like 1 a.m. so it could be worse you know. Alright, I’m seeing signs for Galle Face or Galle Facee. It's probably Goll Face.
Goll Face or Galle Face? Galle Face Galle Face. Oh okay, I’m never good with pronunciations. Oh look at this grand entrance we're pulling up to guys, what a vibe. We got our man's waiting here too. How are we doing? How are we doing?
Hello. Alright, we made it. Alright, guys we are here, thank you my friend. Take care, goodbye. Alright, we are entering in the place. Looks like I’m gonna be the last guest checking in tonight, that's for sure arriving at this hour yeah, last one, last guess perfect over here. Alright, alright I’m loving the paintings on the walls, very inviting, very colorful, very exciting and the AC is going too. It’s cooling me down. Hello
good and you? Oh very good, very good. I must say you guys the AC what I was saying though it's gonna be a warm one here. It's the middle of the night and it's this humid out here. So, I love the warm weather though so I’m excited for the change perfect here. What's your good name? Shanika. Shanika, thank you so much Shanika. I really appreciate it, nice to meet you. Alright, guys thank you very much. We
got all checked in and our man's taking us up to the suite here. Obviously, we're not giving you much of a hotel tour tonight because it is 4 a.m. Oh good room. Oh cool. Oh very nice big room. So they're hooking us up over here guys. Oh we got the good view and what's your name?
