Week 1...It's a WRAP!

It's Saturday morning in Hong Kong. I've been here 4 days and boy is it HOT!!!! A few minutes outside and a change of clothes is almost required. We're told we've been lucky to see the sunshine each day and that rain is in the forecast again. It was a busy week at work with a ton to do in a short amount of time. Our workweek ended with a surprise visit from our friend Tom Biz (direct from Orlando) and a journey into Central (Hong Kong Island). Leanne, Gary, Geoffrey and I went to the Hong Kong offices of Olgilvy PR to brief them on our plans for the press event. It was pretty wild... from the 23rd floor of one of the most fascinating buildings in Hong Kong we spoke to Ogilvy offices in 11 countries in Asia. After our meeting we headed to SoHo for a drink, one of the many dining and drinking districts, and then it was off to Lan Kwai Fong to meet Rick. Lan Kwai Fong is the hub of ex-pat living. Here you'll find dozens of amazing bars and restaurants... we ended up at Balalaika a Russian Restaurant with a Vodka Freezer... FUR COATS AND VODKA PROVIDED!
