Today we visited the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. The HKEX is one of the largest exchanges in Asia and the world. Afterwards, several of us went out to Stanley Market, a popular shopping and beach area in southeastern Hong Kong.

Sweet water buffalo statue. I want one for my lawn.
The gang outside the exchange building, waiting for our appointment.
One of our hosts, explaining the use of the exchange terminals.
Russ, Tim, Brandon and Alfredo, seeing how they would look on the trading floor. Rather frightening.
Yely, about the ring the bell to start the trading day.
Chris and Brandon, practicing having real jobs.
Deniz with an all day sucker, perfecting her little girl persona. One shoe stall owner chastised her for wandering around the mall without supervision. She could order off the kids menu with no questions asked.

Tomorrow is our last full day in Hong Kong.
