How this came to be
When i was in Holland earlier this year, Kim told me she might go to Malaysia for a conference and we agreed we would try to somehow meet up if she did.
Lets each fly 1000km and have a coffee
The conference had been booked a long time ago and the plan was she would fly up to bangkok for 1 or 2 days. It turned out the conference was not in Kuala Lumpur (KL) but in some tropical resort on Borneo. Great, but that made it somewhat expensive to fly them up. At about 800 euro total, I figured 1 or 2 days was not a great return on investment as full AMS-BKK tickets are not much more expensive. So we decided to go for budget airlines (that can’t be trusted to make connecting flights) and meet in the middle, in Kuala Lumpur. For the Europeans out there, this is like somebody from Amsterdam and somebody from Greece meeting in Barcelona for a coffee.
And thats how this came about. I flew down from bangkok to Kuala Lumpur and she flew up from Kota Kinabalu. And we spent the afternoon together.
