Lazy Days with Sand Between Your Toes

My brain hurts because I just went through about ten different articles and cases on marketing in China. I am being a good boy today and so that means I am pushing myself hard to get a paper done for my China Strategies class before I take off for Shanghai next week.

So after I finished my research and identified a salient idea to work on, my mind wandered off to better days gone by. A few weeks ago my friends and I headed off to one of the beaches here: Repulse Bay. Don't be fooled by the name because it really is a nice stretch of sand and water. Incidentally the name comes from the British who used this location to repulse pirates.


Stranded at my desk here on campus, my mind wanders off to white sand, salt water, good buds, and cold beers.

After I got a nice burn on my "fish belly white" skin I went down the beach to take some snaps of the local monuments here at Repulse Bay. Just next to the beach is sort of pier that has Buddhist structures and statues arranged about. Very interesting stuff, but unfortunately I didn't know the context for the strange shapes and fingures.

It was an awesome day folks. I wish I was beached on the hot sand again, instead of banging out this paper on foreign firms entering China. sigh. This is going to be a rough one....
