KUL in May anyone?
 
Will any of you well traveled lot be in the vicinity of Kuala Lumpur between May 22 and 25? If so, lets get together and talk turkey!

I am flying to KL this afternoon. I will spend the rest of the week there. For the next few months I will be splitting my time between KL and Hong Kong. If you want to meet up, e-mail me closer to the date.

Cheers,

Rudi:

Talk Turkey: Speak frankly or bluntly.

The origin of this phrase, as I understand it, comes from a story about a native american dealing with a eurpoean settler in the "new world." The european and the native american were out for a day of hunting together and at the end of the day had bagged a turkey and a dove. They couldn't decide how to divide the spoils so the european suggested:
"I'll flip a coin. If it's tails I get the turkey. If its heads, you get the dove."
To which the (smarter than he looked) native american replied:
"Never once did you talk turkey to me."
