I have heard that it won't take place in Hong-Kong... Where do you think it will take place then ? Where would you like it to take place ?

Any ideas already about who is going to win the different events ?
 
I too hope the competition will be in Asia (whether Hong Kong, Japan, or wherever). However, I support the WCA for wherever the competition ends up being held. Whether it is merged with the US Open, or happens in Asia, I plan to be there even if I have to swim or hitch hike ;-)

If it is in Asia, You could hitch hike all the way with me. I am still looking for travelling companions. You only have to tell me where (between Rotterdam and e.g. Hong Kong) you would like to start.

If it is going to be in the US (which I am assuming right now) I might still be able to pick you up, but that greatly depends on when/where me/Charlie/Joey are going to be travelling

If it's in the US that's my backyard, I could very possibly pick you all up and we could drive/travel there ;-) If it's in Asia I might actually try to do some kind of hitchhiking with you guys, or if not that at least travel around with you all in Asia - that would be awesome actually!

I hope it's in the US because my parents won't fly me to a competition-the only way I might get my dad to let me go is if I tell him it's a way to get rid of me for a few days :p
 
JohnyA, the planning is still 2009

Chris: You have a big backyard.
Just like previous years, I will be coming to the US Open and will have a 2 weeks vacation "around" the competition area. One of the differences is that Charlie is supposed to come with me this year (http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showpost.php?p=122824&postcount=150) and that Joey mentioned he might meet us there. So in this case we would already be driving through the US and picking you up might give us some direction

In case it will be in Asia, travelling will be even more interesting. I would take of 6 weeks and drive there (about 4 weeks), then fly/boat back

Haha true on the big back yard part, but even if the competition is on the west coast, it would be really neat to road trip across the US to get there. I've never driven across the US before, and I'm planning to take about 10 days off no matter where the competition will be held. Just an idea of course, I could of course just fly and meet you all there at the venue as well, with possibly some travel plans around the venue ;-)

I just had so much fun travelling around in Europe, that even if it's in the US I'd like to turn it into a trip of some kind and would love to join you all if there's room for one more.

@ julesv
The Rubik's cube community is much greater than the competition itself. That's why we talk about doing such things ;-)

Sounds like a plan Chris.

And by that, I mean that we have a general idea about something that may or may not happen.

And @julesv: Why do you think travelling is secondary to cubing? I cube so I have an excuse to travel
 
I and Friend very hope in Hong kong. It's near me(Thailand). US is very far. However if in Hong kong and you also plan for travel, I think you also could travel around country. Hong kong don't have many traveling place.
 
The first thing I have to say is: IT BETTER NOT BE IN THE US.
I have two reasons:
1. I will have just left.
2. The current venue for US Open will not be large enough to accomodate.
If it can't be in Hong Kong then I hope they move to Japan, or China. (Or you know, put it in Aussie :p).
I mean, if it's in the US I will deal with it, at least I will be able to get around easier.

Last I heard was that they couldn't get sponsoring worked out and that US Open and Worlds might actually get merged

I really hope that it will be held in Asia because I was looking forward to my adventurous trip there

Well we -Maria and me- are planning a competition in Indonesia probably 30 aug, so Asia is still an option

For the WC 2009, Ron/Seventowns are busy with it ...

But I agree, Worlds still should be outside of the US in 2009.

Why? Yes, it would be nice if it could be in Asia, but if they can't find some place, then why not put it in the US? But putting it in Europe again seems odd when it was last in Europe. And yes, I am aware that 2003 and 2005 were in North America, but that was the start of cubing and those were the venues that could be secured.
