We had a fruitful day starting off with a visual story telling workshop. Despite it had a formal definition of what the workshop was like, it was the most interesting and relaxing class we ever had in Stanford up to now.  This course taught us how to refine a photograph. In other words, it taught us how to tell a story through a colored and motionless photograph. The professor took us out for a walk around the campus and took various pictures, both portraits and landscapes. Since most of the time the class was conducted at outdoor, we enjoyed it very much. We have learnt some skills to take photographs. For example, it is important that the subject of the photograph should be placed in the middle and should be the main focus of the picture. Moreover, the light intensity of the photograph is also very important. It should neither be too bright nor too dim. We will try to apply our new knowledge in our daily when we take pictures.

After lunch, we had our international business workshop. Four of us in our group studied business so we found the workshop familiar and easier to handle and analyze different cases. We learnt what are multinational enterprises and how the CEO of the firms make decisions. We also did a case analysis and role-played the CEO of the firm to make decisions concerning the current situation of the market. It was fun and challenging.

During nighttime, we had our fire pit night. It was rare in Hong Kong to hold a gathering like this and we did really enjoy our time spending with our international friends. We took a lot of photographs in the field and sang together when we sat around the fire pit. We had a lot of fun and tonight was memorable night.
