Day 2 in HK

Hello, and sorry that the videos have not posted. I have been unable to get a clean connection to upload them, but will keep trying.
I appreciate your comments and feedback through these sites. Taking good pictures is not as easy as I had expected, so sometimes they are blurry and off centered because I am moving to keep up, but still want to share what I am witnessing with you.
What a great day! Hong Kong is a fascinating city- the skyscrapers, harbor, hills, and vibrancy of this small island city is electrifying.
This morning we met the members of our Harvard Business School our group- about 30 people from various parts of the world. It will be fun just getting to know them, as we will be spending the next 2 weeks together exploring China.
Today we went up to Victoria Peak riding up a 60 degree funicular tram. The ride up was a bit scary, with huge skyscrapers shooting up in weird angles relative to the tram. The view from the peak was definitely worth the ride as you can see from the pictures. It's a bit like San Francisco, but higher and more Chinese.
From there we went to Stanley market which was basically a tourist trap with cheap souveniers.
Then we went to Aberdeen- an old fishing village where fishermen still live on their boats in squalor, surrounded by the richest real estate towers in the world. The contrast was startling. We were given a ride in the old junkets.
Afterwards I went to lunch for dim sum with 5 people from the tour- a Saudi couple, a healthy cookbook author, an investment banker and a professor. The conversation was so stimulating.
Tonight we'll have dinner with several local alumni business people and get their perspectives. Tomorrow Thursday we depart for Shanghai.
Until next time, Rosa
