The networking dinner with Iowa US MBA students was held on an enjoyable evening on 9th January 2009. The dinner at Lei Yue Mun was a big success. There were 3 tables of MBA students from US & HK and alumnus, including 2 Iowa faculty staff, Professor Frank C. Rydzewski, Faculty Lecturer of International Management program and Ms Colleen M Downie, Assistant Dean of Full Time MBA program. 
We also met a nice folk from Iowa alumnus, Mr Timothy Curl, who was just relocated to Hong Kong five months ago and now working for Morgan Stanley. Tim was invited by his US MBA friend who also joined the HK/China study program.
As this was the first day of their busy China/HK program, they were all excited about Hong Kong and Chinese foods, culture and peoples. There was some great conversation about seafood, Tippie Hong Kong MBA program, topics about US, blogging and networking.The first dish was poached live sea shrimps. Some of the US students were unsure if they could use their bare hands to eat the shrimps. I told them to use their bare hands to have the shrimps as it was just a casual seafood dinner. Amazingly, most of the US students could use chopsticks skillfully and I was told that they practiced it for several times before coming to Hong Kong! It was a delicious dinner as the seafood was so fresh. The dishes included shrimps, garoupa, streamed scallops, lobster, streamed abalone, Crab and vegetables, and many more. For those who was unable to join us, we really wish you were there!
I tried to pick up some good pictures during the dinner, and you can see some pictures in this report.
We took a group picture at the entrance to Lei Yue Mun seafood village after dinner.
