You are THAT amazing person reading this... ๐ฅฐ
Why? Because you are either reading this externally from a perspective of someone who does not even know about Hive blockchain, or because you know me or found me on the chain!
Either way! You are special already... You know... I hate emails... but I love the blockchain experience! Why? Well... emails... emails... they are just that ... e MAILS...
On chain, we can avoid the "e"... it's more like "on", on Blockchain! Forever... Hard to delete, hard to forge, impossible to duplicate (in case of Hive)... hence any of us becomes Unique!
But enough of geek stuff... Sorry! ๐ - too much IRL boring influences.
LETS GOOOOooo!!
I decided to go to @hivefest this year again, because I know how I am, and to just "snap" (using snaps instead of posts mostly) during the travel time, because I don't have the mindset to live the "recording" at every moment mindset while living the moment (more important to me) was mega.
I need to think about these things, right? Before I eventually distribute them, due to the reason they have meaning to me (strong hidden meanings sometimes), because they are important.

This is one of them... almost 5 years ago, I decided to "represent" what I do on Hive, via a token called ATX... and that made sure to record history about what I do. Just as motivation back then...
But WAIT... this is about @hivefest, not ATX ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐๐ (spoiler alert)
The moment I have thought about going... to HiveFest ๐ค
It was actually back in May when I found out about it... I have booked the Hotel on the Journal and flights! Back then, it was the most amazing feeling to be sure I was going there... without any doubts about it.

But at the same time, the thought of some people I love would not go to join, flooded my thoughts... even so, my mindset said... It's a new opportunity, new people! New Challenges! SO, LET'S GO!

I had to leave my self AI for a while... (even if that didn't work in KL because most people would know me already, LOL)
At the departure...
No Dark Vather farting around... ๐ (only telegram @hivefest channel people will understand)

That was the flight from Wellington to Auckland... 1 ish hour... smooth. I was excited... Powered with energy. Feeling that 100k HP under my hood...
Then the "rain" came...

I said... WTF... and NO... I am not in a prison... It's Airport stuff!


Suddenly... I was just reading Telegram messages and witnessing the fact that I was, reading stuff from the "already arrived in Malaysia" people!

I could see where they were... but I could not do anything about it yet... felt powerless but excited about joining them soon.
Eventually, this one brought me from NZ into Singapore!


During this flight of Air New Zealand, I have noticed something I haven't had for YEARS!!! That was just GOLD...
Have you ever witnessed your food tray sliding on the platform you have to eat?
Do you hate it? ๐คฃ Yes, me tooo!
But not anymore with Air New Zealand... apparently they have solved the problem recently...

Little couchins below the trays make the trays super sticky and therefore problem solved! The next one is the glass sliding problem!

Proof of food sticking! ๐คค๐๐
Then I went over Australia... and called for the Australians via snaps!

This was me snapppping them!!!

Other blockchain people answered... And given I was testing the wireless on the plane, it was super exciting to test it with Hive people!
Yes, @rishi556, you are going to be tagged LOL - thanks for joining the chat over 10 km altitude!
It worked quite flawlessly, to be honest. Until everyone on the plane started to wake up!!!! ๐คค And using their phones... After that, I basically could not do anything anymore!

This was about where the internet airspace was not so good... and I got into sleep mode!
Lucky me, Singapore was super busy and we had to wait for 45 minutes more in the air... making me lose the 2nd flight. Air New Zealand rebooked me automatically to another one 1 hour later.
Finally, I landed in Singapore... this airport is quite a beautiful one (this is just a peek).


And this one completely drives me crazy because you can't tell the limit of the pond... on the left side! Lucky photo!

And there you go... me upside down!

There is a lake at the top!
Eventually... I arrived after not being able to check in on time from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. Yes... 3 flights delayed... but Air New Zealand was ABSOLUTELY flawless... If I have to recommend them. I will 100%... BEST company ever experienced... and I can chat about some really cool stuff before COVID times... You will be CRAZY to listen to.
After arriving at KL, I took the cheapest TAXI ever for 55km! Under 80 Ringgit ๐ฑ
Top speed might have been 160km/h, and average speed about 120 km/h, with 90 km/h max speed allowed on the highway! ๐ very similar to Portugal I would say...
Well, I would do 180 km/s every day with a diesel on the Tejo bridge... for a LONG time... when the maximum was by then 120... so I understood the guy in a sense. I can at least understand if I am being on a rocket or a BOMB! The guy was not bad...

Eventually, I have arrived...
And whom have I found?

@arcange @rmach (@rivalzzz @louis88, this part order is subject to twin curation ๐ค) and the ultimate @detlev
The legendary @forkyishere receivers! I will NEVER FORGET!!! THANK YOU ๐ 12:30 I was fricking exhausted... expecting 6 hours earlier to be at the hotel... to you guys made my day with this amazing surprise!

Sorry for the low resolution thing... it was LATE!
And this is it...
The next part is already released...
If you want to keep following the story... head to, I am back from HiveFest10 - Living the HiveFest of it! Part 2/4
