365 China Photo: One-A-Day

The first day of the Maestro training was quite intense, despite being an introductory day. There are around 30 people in the programme divided into six teams so we were getting to know each other and the case study we would be working on. I have been told the programme get more intense as the days progress and I am sure its true. Anyway it was a long day and didn’t get a chance to leave to hotel once. The view from my window looked very different in the daytime as you can see the huge reclamation project underway. When I left Hong Kong three years ago they had already started reclaiming the land from the harbour which had caused an outcry from the public. Mainly because the government was planning on building a huge government office complex on the site and reducing the width of Victoria Harbour. It looks like the plans have been modified to create a new central park, which will be good for the city. Just as long as people are allowed to walk, sit and play on the grass, which is often banned in many of Hong Kong’s public spaces.
