Here are the yaks on display at the Shokay Taikang Lu store on Saturday! Each yak will be traveling with a matching yak hat and a folder with a travelogue and guestbook. Guests at our launch event on Saturday signed the guestbooks, wishing our yaks safe and happy travels.
More yaks! The ones in the basket still have yet to be assigned their first destination. We're looking for changemakers in Europe, since that region is rather underrepresented right now. Let us know if you know anyone who you think deserves a yak!
Each yak had a card describing the first changemaker they will be visiting.
Twitter asks, "What are you doing?" The yaks ask, "What are you doing to change the world today?"
Starting at 3pm, we served yak cheese with wine and crackers! Yeah, our yaks are classy like that.
Himalayan Sunset is the first yak to depart! Calvin Chin, founder of Qifang.cn, an online community founded to help poor
students solve the problems of higher education expenses, came to pick up this yak.
Our party guests also had fun taking pictures with our yaks.
Thanks to Yugo (Shokay summer intern from Japan!), we even had live music at the launch!
We set up a twitter station where guests could tweet their reactions to yak cheese, or just anything about Shokay, social change, and yaks.
Everyone loved the Shokay twitter bird.

The yaks will be on display for a few more days, and then they are off to see the world...We're going to miss them here in Shanghai!
