Road Trip

It had been a while since the last time we'd grabbed our guitars, bagged the back seats of the school coach, and headed off as a team on the open road - but last week half the office decamped to Kuala Lumpur to see the sights of our near neighbour's capital city, sample the local food, and play 'Indian Poker' in Bangsar.

Oh, and somewhere along the way we managed to hold a 2-day conference: Digital Inclusion Forum, which attracted over 80 high-level government officials from nine countries. That was a bit of a laugh too.

It was also nice to see a couple of new staff find their feet with us - as this was Amelia's first outing to an Alphabet Media event, and Chirag's first event with us as well. I think they were both impressed with the seniority of the attendees - as well as the honourable tradition of drinking games with which our events are traditionally concluded.

Special mention must go to James2, however. He was a last minute casualty, courtesy of a 'dodgy back' - but such is the nature of the man, that we felt compelled to leave a space for him at every meal time and group photo.
