Hello all you Singaporean friends .. i will be back in Singapore on 14-17 June .. it would be lovely if someone can organise a meet on 15 or 16 while I am there .. would love to meet you all

My son and I are making a trip to include Bangkok (other parts of Thailand) and Cambodia (especially Ankor Wat). We really don't know enough and would like to meet with others that may be doing something similar from this date to a month forward. Would like an evening meeting 1900 hrs or so. We will be at Suk 11 hostel. Could easily meet somewhere for dinner or just drinks. I've traveled a lot but haven't traveled a lot lately. I'm older (66) and he's younger (15). Anyone of similar interests?

Tokyo, because of its sheer size (remember Godzilla?) and population, can be an intimidating and impersonal place. If there is anyone out there who would like to have a VT chat over a beer/coffee or two, please don't hesitate to come forward. Will be staying around the Roponggi area.

Could we meet up at eat street on Saturday evening?mail me to confirm.

Vpas

Hi There all!

Very nice that you want to come and looking forward meeting you!

Jennifer gave us a good tip for to have a drink:

Palate Palette Restaurant & Bar
21 Jalan Mesui, off Jalan Nagasari
50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
www.palatepalette.com

My colleague Paul Koning made reservations for us at 15.30 hrs.on Saturday the
30th!
Please allow me to invite you and pay for a few drinks and snacks! (well my
colleague Paul; -)

As you know are doing this for a TV programme. So when we meet you will find out
that it is not just me, but also 4 other people from the TV crew: Paul, Han,
Oscar and Edwin. All relaxed relatively young ;-) and outgoing people. Just to
give you an impression: I would like just to attend this ?ordinary? meeting and
the camera will follow this(so no acting necessary). I will ask you some
questions about your daily life and maybe some tips about Malaysia or Kuala
Lumpur. And I will share some of my (travel) experiences if you?re interested.

At a certain moment it may occur -not to be rude- that we need to leave as we
have some sort of schedule to follow.

At the moment we will be with 4 members, so would be nice if some more people
can come, please let me know if you bring somebody or if other VT members will
join in.

For me this is a new thing, but as I mentioned before, such a great way to get
to get to know some new people and experience Kuala Lumpur!

My colleague Paul has a cell phone (international) also possible to sms of
course:
+31 6 1586 8056

See you Saturday!

Dear VT members,

My name is Sebastiaan Labrie and work for a Dutch travel programme "3 Op Reis" (translated: Channel 3 travels). In each episode we travel across the world in search of unknown and inspiring travel destinations. The programme is broadcasted on the third public channel in the Netherlands.

I read about the VT meetings that are organized all over the world, what a great way to meet people and different cultures and get to know a place!

At the end of August we (myself and a camera crew) will be in Kuala Lumpur, therefore I would love to meet some people from KL or fellow travelers before continuing my trip. Would be great to exchange some tips about this -in my idea- fascinating and interesting city!


Date and Time: Saturday August 30, 15.00 hrs

Place: Somewhere in the center of KL, suggestions are welcome!

If you are in ´town´, and speak English or Dutch please sign up and let's have a drink!

Best Regards,
Sebastiaan Labrie
