Hello,
I think at this moment, though we share a tropical climate, we are still
cold with each other.
Though personally, I can rate our chapter as your little brother chapter
and your chapter is our big sister and the 2011-2012 chapters are toddlers,
we hope that we can do little steps like communicating bi-chapters like my
own initiative to fly to Hong Kong and have web conferences.
I personally like flying to Indonesia to learn your chapter growth, but I
also hope that financial constraints and limited person time wont be a
hindrance to our relations. Through the power of social media and other
modes of online communication/ wiki I am certain that our regional
cooperation would someday be a reality.
