hong kong

grettings from kuala lumpur! im chillin in the lobby of my hotel with a lovely view of the petronus towers out the window, (those towers from the classic sean connery/catherine zeta jones film, the entrapment) it is soooo hot here! if you spend too much time outside, you feel like you are gonna melt. but at least its sunny, which is a step up from the non stop bad weather in hong kong.

lets pick up where i left off last time:

hong kong: sooo pretty, if only the weather had been better, im sure our free time would have been spent at the beach. Instead we tried to stick to indoor activities. We went to the history museum, which was very interesting to learn about the history of Hong Kong and its transition to and from British rule. Another day we went to the art museum which had a Mark Rothke exhibit from washington dc, as well as a tons of chinese art. we had two company visits there. the 1st was with Brown Forman, the makers of Jack Daniels, among other beverages. i enjoyed it because he focused a lot on marketing strategy, which i find to be fascinating when dealing with such diverse markets. the 2nd speaker was a senior executive with HSBC, it was a good presentation, but very much finance oriented and very much over my head. i havent taken finance yet, so most ofthe time i had no clue what he was talking about. Other than that we spend time wandering around town, seeking out american food (we found a TGIFridays, soo yummy. i miss america), trying some local cuisine, and seeing someother sights, like the nightly light show on the waterfront, and the avenue of stars where we saw the handprints of jackie chan, jet li, and bruce lee. good times all around. I like hong kong, and i could definatly live there one day. We never made it to disneyland though. so sad.

KL update later. naptime.
