Hong Kong again... :)

After a few fun days in China, we headed back to Hong Kong.

Though China was fun, it was difficult to move around due to the language barrier.
Hong Kong, on the other hand, is quite easy to navigate. The public transport system is excellent and I particularly like the subway system - extremely well connected, easy to use and a high frequency of trains (a train every 2-3 minutes). Also, you are more likely to find people who have at least a basic knowledge of English. (English hardly works in China, which is why I intend to learn Chinese before my next trip!)

Another highlight of the trip was our dinner with the Chief Economist of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce, David O'Rear. It was great to hear his insights on the HK and Chinese economy and their way of business.

Like all good things, this trip too had to end.
If I had to choose one 'best' part of the trip it would be the time we spent with the Hong Kong MBA students. [Recap..we attended the Tippie exec MBA classes in Hong Kong]
An extremely talented bunch of people, they ensured that we had a fabulous time in Hong Kong. The authentic "hot-pot" dinner we had is just beyond words.....a lot of great food, great conversations... even new drinking games!

Thank you folks, for the great memories!!
