Thank you for coming!

Dear friends,

Many thanks to all the people who attended the ORIENTED Happy Hours last week in New York City and in the San Francisco Bay Area (Palo Alto).

In spite of the cancellations in Asia due to the uncertainties of SARS, our U.S. events were well attended, with 90-100 guests at both locations. Special thanks to Dr. Scott Smith, a specialist on infec-
tious diseases, who gave an informative speech about SARS to our Bay Area at-
tendees.

Our next Happy Hours are scheduled for Thursday, May 29th. Please check our website for the latest information.

Did you know?

The ORIENTED Happy Hours that are held outside of Greater China offer a unique opportunity for those interested in working or doing business in Asia to interact and exchange information with repatriates, Asia-returnees, and others who travel frequently to the region for business.

Be sure to forward this newsletter to your friends and colleagues who may also be interested in future events!
