Five-star treatment

Today we attended the Hong Kong Tourism Board's press conference held at the prestigious Ritz-Carlton hotel at Marina Del-Rey, which is located right next to the beautiful ocean.

It was indeed a real deal as we were the first batch in the world to witness the new release of the Discover Hong Kong 2006 tourism campaign video promotion release. The Board did in fact invested a lot of effort and money into the event as the place was packed with hordes of VIPs and the press.

The Board also revealed their latest campaign which is a beautiful compass which opens up into a breath-taking photo stand. All the attendees were presented with a gift bag including this compass, which means I got to bag one as well!

As we sipped some champagne, waiters and waitresses floated around the patio and hallway serving us stuffed portebello, beef/chicken skewers, shrimp rolls, wantons, an assortment of cheeses and so on. Ahh...I like it!
