Day 6 was a half-day of sorts, with the first four hours of the day split equally between Strategy and Finance. The second half of the day was dedicated to optional corporate and cultural tours.
During the prior three residencies, I took these corporate tour afternoons off. In London, it was a simple mistake; with all of the details to take care of before starting the program, I just neglected to sign up. After London, however, I realized how great having an afternoon off could be, and strategically decided to take the Dubai and Delhi corporate tour afternoons off as well. What can I say, I enjoy a good nap!
For China, I had originally signed up for the Zhouzhuang cultural tour, as I wanted to see the “Venice of the East”, but at the last minute, I decided to change my plans to instead take a tour of the Bank of Communications. As one of the top five largest commercial banks in China, visiting the BOC provided an opportunity to listen to top Chinese officials discuss the issues and opportunities surrounding the banking system in China.
