Are there enough people around here for a grand Doper party on this side of the world? I’m thinking Korea, Japan, China, Russia, Philipines, Australia, etc.
Who would be up for such a festival? How far would you be able/willing to travel?

It’s a long way from Australia to any of those other countries that you mentioned. I don’t think you’d get many takers.

Wimps. 😃
Hey, people flew from Europe to Vegas for a Dopefest, so anything’s possible.
Either way, that leaves pleanty of other countries. I’d be willing to fly to whichever had the best turn out - includeing Australia. I know there are at least one poster each in Japan, Korea, and China. Surely there must be more.

I’m not near any of those countries, but off the top of my head **Sage Rat** and **Hokkaido Brit** are both in Japan. Probably several more. **China Guy** is, of course, in China.

I think I’m the only one in these boards who is from Malaysia.
