 My name is Preetam. I think some of you know me. I'm also known as the person who always scams free food everywhere. This is a free food I scammed last week in KL from a young Cambodian staff at a restaurant by singing some Khmer songs. He is singing. He is singing for us. I just want to show you some photos of this camp which I would highly encourage you guys to apply for next year. It's called Mekong ICD camp and what they try to do is they try to bring people from the five Mekong countries and the Yunnan province of China China. All in one place in Thailand. This was in Pattaya but 60 kilometers from the beach. Initially I was very excited that I'll be in Pattaya but it's in this campus, Tamasat University campus which is far away from the beach but it was fun because they managed to bring very interesting people. I think somebody mentioned earlier, they managed to get people not just working in technology but also in medicine, education, different areas and people like me who don't really work at all just pretend to work. So basically what happens is that on the first day we just get together we introduce ourselves because people are from different countries they don't know each other and then they just talk about things that they are working on. So it's a bit of a combination of a bar camp and a hackathon and again because they are from different disciplines they ask for what they need like they need a designer or a developer or a mobile person and so on and then you know you just make a prototype and get people other participants to go around. So we have about 80 people and everything is paid for the flights and the food and they feed you like seven times a day. You know people may have seen me before I went for that camp and look at me now. So it's it's quite fun like you just you know give them feedback and whatever suggestions you have like whatever they're working on the app or the website and they have interesting problem like I think this this lady she works for Hanai Medical University and she works with male prostitutes. So she has a like she wanted to collect some data and she needed some help with that and you know they they kind of were trying to prototype it and then you just make your team and you start working on your project. Sometimes people work late until the night so you can see like some people are doing coding and then like next morning you have the app or whatever you're working on but you know you can see I'm like not interested in this because I was out partying we used to have beer camp every night and I used to join the beer camp and then okay let me just show you and they also bought like drones for us to try out so they have like while we are having this in Pattaya they would be people from from Bangkok who would come like once every two days and bring some interesting things that they're working on and we actually wanted to fly this but then we realized that next door is the Royal Thai Air Force Base. We saw the paratroopers jump so we thought maybe it's not a good idea to play with the drone here and then on the last day we had a bar camp so again it was interesting we had a lot of technical topics this year's theme was open data and I forgot the other one I'm supposed to write a report I already forgot okay and we had community networking so we had those two broad themes and then people were doing their own stuff so typical bar camp things and we had a lot of interesting non sort of like non tech topics so this girl you know I met her like maybe three or four years back in Phnom Penh bar camp and I always used to think she's like 18 years old but she's not apparently and she told her secrets like how to stay young what's the secret it's a secret you must join next year and we a lot of activities like we start five o'clock in the morning and that night even you know they're post like every night there's a stargazing thing because the sky is really clear yeah this this place is very nice the campus is really beautiful and then early morning walks in the nature around there's some soy dogs you know like the soy dogs are there like street dogs but they're quite quite nice they don't think of you as dinner so they just like walk with you in this area and we also have yoga in the evening like after the camp and all that and then once only once you know because people kind of crying like we haven't seen the beach they took us out to actually the patiocity but even people were trying whatever they learned like we had a session on night photography so some people were trying that out at the walking street and we had a relationship camp in the pool when everybody's half naked so on the last day it was fun you know so I think I kind of realize that you know one important thing is we talk a lot about technology but what is the most important factor is the human like how people are living their life in different countries and what is the big problem they have or small problems they have so the relationship camp was very interesting you know like people were actually like they could trust each other so they could tell like the things that have failed in their projects or not work before it was easier to share because once you talk about your relationship and your sex life then everything is like nothing is secret so next bar camp the first session will start with like relationship camp yeah and then that's me with beer camp yeah so yeah I would encourage you to apply they pay for everything airfare and even though you have a fly air ratio and the thing is even though they say it's a Mekong camp like I'm not from Mekong region they would pick people from outside just say once I went to Cambodia or I know Konella she's from Cambodia yeah so that's pretty much and then actually if you're if you're coming to Vietnam or Cambodia or Thailand we have a lot of things happening we have a bar camp in Cambodia soon in October this year so after bar camp we always go for happy pizza yeah so join us and then we have a few of the similar camps travel camp in Ho Chi Minh city it's faster to go to Ho Chi Minh city than to go to JB you can get there like one and a half hours and you get one hour because we are behind so so just I mean if you're traveling to Southeast Asia just feel free to tweet me or message me and I'll buy you beer it's the least I can promise okay and there is a bar camp in Penang on August 1st yeah there's an important question yeah when is the next bar camp Singapore yes I'm actually thinking of doing it in JB so yeah I don't know I'm like this time in JB yeah with the exchange rate at 2.7 per bar yes yeah it was almost 2.8 yesterday so yeah so it actually makes sense to do it in JB okay that's pretty much what I wanted to show and then you have like transport everything taken care of right on set yeah we get a bus and actually apparently uber guys maybe this I shouldn't say in cam on can you like but yesterday some the guys from the hacker space in JB one of the guys was telling me like you just contact uber and you can get coupon to that's what they do for their events we do that then yeah we can buy are you guys okay with bar camp Singapore in JB yes I'm serious I'm okay yeah no that's why bar camp is kanda yeah yeah bar camp is kanda you want to get some money from Malaysian government please remember to remember to bring the correct passport yeah okay that's what I wanted to show you thank you
