There is a bus going from Weeze Airport to "Kevelaer Bahnhof" or "Weeze Bahnhof". From there you can take a train to Krefeld and then another train to Aachen. The train station you should get out at in Aachen is "Aachen West".

Is it worth buying tickets now or later or personally?

For the trains you mean? this makes no difference when you buy the tickets, I would just buy them as soon as you arrive.

As I remember last year it was 18€/night/person which is quite OK. Do they know about the competition? As I would like to book only 1 bed but then I would ask them to put me among cubers instead of unknown people.

Well, this hostel will be the prefered hostel as it is the only hostel directly linked on our website. We did not contact them as it made no difference last time, but I guess others have already reserved their beds there, so they will probably know about the competition.

Will be lots of fun!

If anyone has a cubesmith semi-bright or bright sticker set (3x3). I would like to buy it. Because the competition is in less than 2 weeks and since i dont have any stickers left, bu t i do want to put on some new stickers on saturday. Ofcourse i will pay for it!

Guys, do you have any weather-forecast for Aachen this weekend?! What stuff shall we bring?! Shorts, sandals, winter coats, jackets?!

**Sebastien** · 06-20-2012

well, it will likely be neither cold nor warm and will probably be raining at some point. I would advice to pack in normal jeans and a light rain-proof jacket.

Just got to Aachen, and checked in to the hostel. Looks like the 4 of us staying here who said we're cubers have a room together; right now it's just me by myself.

I assume not many people are in Aachen right now, but let me know if you are.

**Sebastien** · 06-21-2012

well, all people from Aachen are in Aachen

Where is your hostel located? If you're interested in meeting this evening for eating, beer and cubing just cantact me via PM

Good point

Seems I can only get online occassionally, since there's only 4 ethernet cables in the hostel, and no wireless. My hostel is http://hostel-aachen.de/, by the Aachen Schanz station. I guess I'll just meet up with you guys tonight, since I can't get online often enough to arrange something else.
