This week has been busy so far, with my class schedule finally coming together and the atmosphere here beginning to lean toward the work at hand, as opposed to the new-ness of the city and the excitement of study abroad. Don't get me wrong, I am still ecstatic to be here, but its not as strange now and feels more like my temporary home. I have met some great people on campus and around town, and I hope to continue reaching out to new friends. I have begun the networking search here, but I have not had any success so far in establishing contacts. So as far as networking is concerned, now would be the time for any of you to forward the information to me of any friends who work in Investment Management in Asia!!!
The pictures included today are from a guided tour of Hong Kong on Saturday that included Victoria's Peak and Stanley. Victoria's Peak is the tallest point in Hong Kong and offers amazing views of the city. Stanley, or Stanley Market, is a picturesque fishing village turned tourist stop at the south end of Hong Kong Island that is absolutely gorgeous and is very reminiscent of a European port of coastal village. I also ventured to Lan Kwai Fong on Saturday night to hang out with some friends and document the night's festivities for you. For those of you who don't know, LKF is Hong Kong's "party central," with a slew of bars and nightclubs that never close. Very interesting place, but definitely one which I don't and won't attend regularly. Oh, and make sure to check out the pics of the Harbor light show and that crazy gentleman with the wig and the dog-- he was selling sodas on the corner in LKF.
Don't forget that you can click on any picture and "blow it up" to full size. Enjoy!
Glad the trip is so much fun. Tom
