A little Hong Kong flavor

As I write this blog, I feel this great adventure almost coming to an end. Hong Kong has been amazing. We definitely feel more comfortable here, as there are many things around us that we have become accustomed to in the USA. Everyone has been having a good time, getting to know different people and making new friends.

We had meetings with HSBC and the Economist, and both offered valuable lessons on the ways of doing business in South East Asia.

Today we visited Viktoria's Peak, where you can see the entire city of Hong Kong below. We went to a fishing village and took a ride on a water taxi. We then visited the "Standing Market" where everyone got to shop for various momentos to take back home with them. Don't worry baby, I didn't forget you. I think you will be very happy with what I am bringing.... Myself!!! ;-) I got gifts too..

We are now heading over to a group dinner and then over to Hong Kong Island for some more fun. Tomorrow many of us are headed to Macau - a former Portugese island, which was returned to China a few years ago. This is sort of like the Vegas of Asia..We are going to a Cirque Du Soleil show called Zaia at the Venetian.
