3.28 & 3.29 of our journey- Nikki Kook and Tina Maly

3.28-
Today we all stuck out like a sore thumb with our cameras out and ready as we toured beautiful Hong Kong. From Big Buddha to the city light show- the views were all incredible. People say that a picture is worth a thousand words, so I hope the photos below accomplish just that..




3.29-
Today we learned that not only does Li and Fung strive for a profit and value its people, it also focuses on another "P"- the planet. Bruce Bergstrom of LF was kind enough to give us an overview of the social responsibility efforts LF has made thus far. We then ventured across the Hong Kong border to Shenzhen, where we had to pass thru two customs checkpoints. It was a whole different world in main land China! There was no more English signage, which is prevelant in Hong Kong. In Shenzhen, we met with Dawn Jester, a technical designer at Kohl's corporate office. We also had the opportunity to visit a store, which is comparable to a Sams Club in the United States. Some rare sights were: live swimming fish which like to jump out of their tanks and scare unexpected travelers, fresh tea leaves which smell delicious, fruit that's so oddly shaped and full of color that it almost looks fake. Deborah Vinson even bought us some cookies to tide us over on the bus until dinner- THANKS DEBORAH!
