I have spent 5 whole days in Hong Kong visiting my dear friend Winnie. She is currently studying abroad at HK University and I had a chance in between classes to take a short trip to explore HK. Here is a recap of my week...
Picture to the Right: Here is a picture of me shopping. Let me tell you all, for those who have never been to HK. Practically every subway stop leads you to a (gasp) department store!!! HK is truly my haven, where there are endless amount of shopping! And each department store is about 7 stories high with fabulous eatery's and merchandise from all over the globe. It was truly a week of retail therapy.
Picture to the Left: This is the the biggest bronze Buddha statue in the World. In theory, it doesn't sound very interesting. Winnie practically had to tear me away from shopping to visit this site. I am so glad that I was forced to go because it was incredible. You have to take a 30 minute cable cart up to the mountains. The view was nice, but after 15 minutes... really, same scenic view. But the last 10 minutes of the cable cart ride, you see this huge statue of the Buddha in the middle of mountains. It's really a spectacular sight because it gets you thinking.. "How in the world, did someone build a huge statue in the middle of nowhere?? And on top of a mountain??" It's really a jaw dropping experience to view the whole image in it's entirety.
Picture to the Right: I also took a cable cart (different cable cart than the Buddha) to Victoria Peak at night. Up at the top, I was able to do some shopping (yet another department store), have dinner and view a light show. It was truly a romantic experience and Winnie was an excellent filler-inner as my BF for the night. :) Overall, HK is definitely a city that I must return too. I love the exciting night life, endless shopping and the nice, hot weather year round.
Currently, I am back in Korea, in my personal island. (An isolated desk in the corner of the library at KAIST) I have yet again endless amount of articles to catch up on, chapters to outline, case write-ups, group projects..... the usual MBA school work. However, it's nice to be home again and not worry about being out of town for a while. I will get back to my usual routine of MBA-life at KAIST. But knowing me, there is never a dull moment and of course I will be sharing it with you all via Blog. :)

You are funny Anne Lee. Who knew your blog would be so revealing...I moved to a place in Playa Del Rey, two blocks from the beach, fenced front patio for the dog. Little slice of heaven. I can see from Pepperdine to PV from my vantage point where I do yoga on top of the hill in the morning sunshine every day. It's good to be at home.(:-)
