Expat Teacher in Hong Kong, hoping to join Secret Santa

My wife and I have lived in Hong Kong for six years, and enjoy learning more about Asia as we travel during school breaks. We're from the USA, but have lived in three other countries, and visited 40+ so far. But many more places still to visit and enjoy; haven't been south of the equator yet!

We appreciate all the good tips and entertaining stories shared on flyertalk!

Thanks for the link!
It comes up to about RM 120 for air shipping with tracking. On a side note, the MY postal service is notorious for misplacing/stealing/breaking packages. I might go with DHL/UPS instead.

Just send it as registered letter/parcel, that makes sure it doesn't get misplaced.

Check the second post of the thread periodically. If it's been updated after you think you sent your message send and you're not on there send another one.
