The Taiping and Taipei connection

What's the connection between Taiping (a small industrial town in Northern Malaysia) and Taipei?

Actually, none that I know of.

Only that this morning, I attended a networking meeting where we received a guest who came from Taiping (he drove down this morning itself, and must have started his journey at 3 in the morning).

Shortly after, we received another 3 guests from Taipei, Taiwan and I believe they have been here for a few days.

The person who invited the guests from Taipei was a certain Mr. Tai from Hello Holidays, a member in this networking group.

During when the bit when guests were introduced, our Taiping guest explained that he was from Taiping.

This is when Mr. Tai got up to proclaim that his guests are from Taipei.

What's the connection?

Actually nothing.

Just that this is where the element of fun was injected into the meeting, and all present had a light moment to 'chill out' so to speak from the routines of a meeting.

It's important to have fun in the fundamentals, however, it's essential that the fun is 'powerful' fun rather than just fun for the sake of having fun.

Well done to the team. This created energies!
