Re: Narbik CCIE 2.0 bootcamp

Johnny u should direct most of yr questions to Narbik directly. Well as much
as i can tell from my experience from my KL bootcamp (before 360) meals are
not part of the $2500USD that i paid, but the training center was kind
enough to provide drinks and light refreshments. As far as retake is concern
from what i understand is that you can retake the class if the class is not
full and if the class is happening, (needs 6 paid student to start a class
for KL bootcamp). Narbik is a very kind person, he explains the lesson well,
i enjoyed my class very much even though the class was very intentsive and
tiring (average 10hrs each day). I have nothing but priases for narbik, but
i guess that opinions are subjective.

Regards,
Adrian
