Fascinating Hong Kong

Here comes my monthly adventures report, dear friends! This time - finnaly in English, because of pressure and respect :D

New pluses - In huge conference about Branding I was responsible for speakers and got to know amazing people (DHL marketing director, HSBC general manager, Starbucks vice-president) and became closer to my collegues. Had unforgettable weekend in Lamma Island with buch of trainees, orientation game, bbq and pasta, beach party, long swims in a sea (in the begining of December - crazy!!) and even longer conversations, mmm.. :) Saw beautifull tap dance performance. Finnaly got up to Victoria Peak at night time - extraordinary!! Survived hike in jungles!!! Those montains, forests, small rivers are marveluos!! With my brave friends sang karaoke for 5 hours :D And yesterday I found a park in my district - most beautiful & relaxing place in HK!

Database of "weird" - from now on I am known as weird lady from Eastern Europe, who washes oranges, kiwis and bananas before eating. Suposedly the rest of the world does not.. I know local people with first English names Pineapple, Oxygen, Stone, Monkey, Water, etc. There's a stamp with expire date on each egg you buy.

Moments I charish - opening parcels from my family (ahhh, tea/ chocolate/ magazines) and friends for my B-day & X-mas :) Standing in warm Sounth China sea with stars above my head, surrounded by people who became so close to me (love ya guys!) while listening to Bob Marley. Sitting in Tai Po Waterfront park with cup of hot milked tea and watching a boy learning to ride a bike. Eating deliciuos pancakes made by Nadia with trainees from 7 different countries for weekend breakfast. Seeing smiles and encourigement of MBA students on creativity trainings late Saturday afternoon. Recieving news that Mantas was accepted by SwissRe (congrats boy, you did it!!!). Getting all those green presents (Liesbeth you are my saviuor :D) - I have a strong branding :)

What future holds? Facilitation in Winter National Conference for Outgoing Exchange preparation. 7 more creativity trainings. Christmas Eve in MC appartment with great challange to make Lithuanian dishes without Lithuanian ingridiants. New Year celebration!!! New semester - 500 more students. Marie, Rio, Arne, Bomi leaving back home... Visit of my aunt with uncle and journey to Beijing.

I wish you all to have quite and peacefull Christmas and rocking New Year!!!
