Also known as the Asia Pacific Finance Meeting in Hanoi this week included an Amazing Race type of activity to get to know the city and your teammates better. "Challenges" included Tai Chi, basket carrying, playing local instruments, racing through streets in rigshaws, haggling for prices with local arts & crafts vendors and finally pausing for a group photo.

We got more than strange looks from the locals as 150 people dressed in various team colors (ours was "butter") ran around the city with individual team guides and team buses. It was great fun.
