The past three days have flown by!  We have done so many fun things.  On Day 2we got to hear Rick Darnling and Marc Compangnon speak at the Li and Fung offices in Kowloon.  It was so interested and we learned a lot about the company.  We also got to tour all the Li and Fung offices including all of the showrooms of products they have sourced.  Then we got to go out for cocktails and dinner plus got to see some of the Hong Kong nightlife.  

On Day 3 we learned more about LF Retailing and got to visit the biggest Toys R Us in Hong Kong plus hear about their outstanding Customer Loyalty Program.  Later that night we went out for dinner in SoHO and also rode to the top of the mid-level escalator (the longest outdoor escalator in the world).    

On Day 4 we got to see all the great sights in HK.  Including the biggest metal Buddha, the Stanley market and the view from Victoria Peak.  One of the highlights of the tour was our tour guide William.  I don't think he stopped talking for the 3 hours we were on the bus, but we got sooo many interesting facts about both HK and China.  Later that night we say the Symphony of Lights which is a light show on 20 buildings along Victoria Harbor.  And shortly after the light show we went on a junk (boat) in the Harbor.  

On Day 5 we went to Shenzhen and got to hear from the Kohl's technical designers that were visiting from WI.  Plus we got to see a color lab which was really interesting.  After that we went and had one of the most unique meals we have ever had.  Some of the items included: Pig's knuckles, sea blubber (Jellyfish), Peking duck, and even Begger's Chicken (which is wrapped in leaves and mud and then placed in the ground to bake).  We have been having such a wonderful time in HK- we will definitely be sad to leave on Wednesday!
