HI

Talk about late interest. I just noticed the post in the monthly newsletter. I've only done one other FT meeting which was fun. Will be in KL from 1-15 to 1-18. Staying at the Ritz. If not too late, may want to meet for one of the meals to meet everyone [since i've been using your sage advice for years]. Any info greatly appreciated at this very late last minute.

the instructions for signing up for the events are in post 226. I doubt the organizers will have a problem adding you at the last minute to one or more of the meals.

I'm arriving 7:30pm tmr and hope to make it to the drink around 10pm. What's the best way to find out the location - will someone post it here or elsewhere? My phone has internet so I can check on the ground.

Thanks.

p.s. are folks using anything else to stay in touch besides this thread? e.g. Twitter hashtag or something else for real time communication?

Just submitted survey, sorry for the delay as I've been unable to get on FT.

I'm 100% in for the late dinner on the Friday, the dinner on Saturday, Saturday post-dinner activities and then I leave KL early Sunday morning.

I am a maybe for the drinks on Friday night - my tour might return too late.

I provided email and mobile # in DO survey response to receive updates.

Thanks! Looking forward to meeting everybody!

Cheers.

Quick update here. UA 881 ORD -NRT delayed 5+ hours. (No surprise - this being UA) Missed connection to SIN/KUL, so will arrive Grand Hyatt KUL on Saturday afternoon, rather than Friday afternoon. See you all Saturday night.

Cheers,
upup&away

The individual events attendee list is posted here.

If you are missing from the list, please PM me and note what events you would like to attend. Attendees can be added at any time, though for dining arrangements it's best to let me know ahead of time.

The Lunch tomorrow will be at 1:45 or 2:00 PM. We're going to try for a dim sum place and the definite location will be added tomorrow morning.

Regarding dinner after drinks tomorrow, I had posted Bukit Bintang as the area we'll head to. I think we'd head there around 11 or 12, but since it is super crowded around there, I will setup a whatsapp so we can all be on the same page for where we go.

Finally, finding train information to Klang took a few hours, but here is a link to the schedule. For those leaving the Hyatt, I would suggest we leave at about 9:45 to get the 10:14 train. Schedule is here.

Looks like the rows haven't lined up properly. I'm fairly sure tuapekastar is arriving from BKK by plane, not ship

It's a long ride from Houston to Kuala Lumpur in a Tuk Tuk - When did you leave?
