a) SKYEG - it seems we will be on the same flight home! So your GF will reluctantly have to meet a fellow FTer after all!

b) Thai-Kiwi, by default that means there's now at least 3 FTers around a bit longer, although for varying amounts of time.

I'm sure there'll be a Tuesday night dinner arranged - it would be great to catch up.

Any idea on when you can have an itin for the DO? More or less looking at costs as I want to work on budgeting for myself as I may be staying a week or 2. So if others are planning on staying longer I will be down for doing some things as I don't have a whole lot planned quite yet.

Cheers folks, I've popped possible dinner/catch-up in the diary. My apartment is very centrally located downtown, 10 mins walk from Myoung-dong.

What category of attendee do I become?!

I have an itinerary in mind, however nothing has been set in stone yet. Still working out restaurant reservations that can accommodate 20+ people but those details will come as we get closer to the DO. I should have a rough schedule out together hopefully within a week.

If I can still attend Japan DO I will be able to catch part of Seoul DO. My flight arrives ICN on April 6th and leaves evening of the 17th. I'll need to rearrange internal flights as things get closer. At this point keeping everything refundable.

According to the FT Glossary: A widely used term for large get togethers/parties/meetups. In general the term is reserved for larger gatherings of 12 of more members.

In CommunityBuzz any gathering of five or more FT members (and their friends) are listed in the Consolidated Do thread if posted in this forum.

If you want to know what happens during DOs (at least those activities which can be publicly discussed ) pick any past DO from the archive. Many attendees of this year's Korea Do have attended one of the past Japan Dos.

Hope to see you in Seoul!

I'm upgrading myself from interested to confirmed. Not sure what flights I'll take yet, but I'm going to the Tokyo Do and will get here.
