Nancys In HK

Once we got back to HK with the Nancys we had two more days with them before they flew back to the US. We started on Sunday with a lovely lunch at the famous Peninsula Hotel with their live band in the balcony. We ate delicious food and chatted about what we had learned in Shanghai during our visits. The Nancys gave us an assignment that we are working on about what we have learned about the business system in Asia and about each of our foci. From lunch we did a bit of pearl shopping and then headed toward Central to go to the Peak.

At the Peak

We went up at the perfect time as the sun was setting and all of the lights came on in Kowloon side. The Peak was much more commercial than any of us had expected, but the view was still beautiful. We did not spend too much time at the top because we had to get to our dinner reservation. We ran home quickly to change and met the Nancys again for our Beggar’s Chicken dinner. The restaurant is known for this chicken that they wrap in leaves and baked in clay. It was very delicious and we got several other dishes to complement. After dinner we went to the Intercontinental hotel on the harbor for dessert and a glass of wine.

Intercontinental Hotel

Here I announced that textiles talk was forbidden and that we wanted to hear about their lives and interests. It was great to just be able to talk to them both and learn more about where they came from and how they got to where they are today back in Academia. The entire trip with Dr. Cassill and Nancy Webster was so much fun! We were able to learn a lot from them, from the companies, and have a good time.
