Day 3- Megan & Kristi

What an AMAZING day! We woke up today and had a great presentation from Jeffrey and Christine Fang, UW alumni who now own a retail company here in Hong Kong. Their presentation really informed us on the environmental, political, and social aspects of Asia that influence retail today. After our presentation we had an afternoon of sightseeing. First, we went to see the Big Buddha. This was a beautiful experience, walking up the 250 steps to get to the foundation of the buddha we realized we haven't walked to class in a few days.. but the walk was more than worth it. The view from Buddha was gorgeous and truly could not be captured in pictures. After Buddha, we went to Stanley Markets, a huge marketplace area, to practice our negotiating skills. With a few bags each we moved on to our last stop, the Peak. This was an outlook point that gave a beautiful view of the entire harbor and city. We ended our night with the Symphony of Lights show and a harbor cruise. I would love to have added some pictures but my computer refuses to cooperate! Next time!
