Snowman Bowties, Bill Clinton and Italian Food in Asia

Hey, everybody. Thank you for the comments and emails about the blog. Glad to know it's being read!

Today was an interesting day. We had meetings throughout, beginning at 7:30 a.m., including one with a former Financial Times writer (now PR exec) who was incredibly intelligent and extremely likable. He invited us to a private party at the the horse track and he wore a snowman bowtie. How fun is that???

We had a wonderful dim sum lunch (dumplings for breakfast and lunch, Mark!), finished our meetings and took a much-needed nap in the late afternoon. Met the group for dinner at a little Italian place in the mall in the lower levels of our hotel. When I say mall, ladies, I'm talking Louis Vuitton, Chloe, Celine, Bulgari, and everything else you can buy only in your dreams. And, the bookstore had Bill Clinton. The real guy! I'm not a Bill Clinton fan, but I was still excited that he was here signing his book. Didn't get the chance to hop in line for my own copy, but it was neat nonetheless. Not sure if he's staying in the hotel, but I have NO desire to find out. :)

Luggage update -- still don't have it, but it's supposed to be arriving in the next few hours. Fingers crossed!

We're going to have an opportunity to do some shopping tomorrow (the bargains here are SUPER), so if the luggage doesn't show up, I have an excuse to buy some new clothes! Yippee!

That's really all for today. Hong Kong is a cool city and the people are really nice. The weather is a bit chilly and dreary, but otherwise everything is great. I'm sure well have some fun tomorrow, with lots of stories to tell.

Keep in touch, everybody!

XOXO,
Lori
