Aachen Open 2011

[Slash]

Yeah, I might have been wrong :/

Thalys is good for brussels, but not for charleroi (I just recognized that this is not the same...).

Ok, I guess I've figured it out. I've found a train to Brussels for €19, and another from there to Charleroi for €18. I guess it's the cheapest way, though István said he knew about some coach to Charleri for €(tensomething). Thank for your help. it can't be a problem to get there.

Charlie: I'm sad now:'(

and omfg 200 competitors?????:O

So guys, it's like a month till the competition. we're going four together (István, Brúnó aka KUCU, Turi Barnabás and me). We have our flight (booked by Pitzu) and we'll get there on Thursday in the morning, and gonna leave on Monday in the morning. The only problem is that we can't really afford sleeping in any kinda hotel, so we'd prefer some cheap accommodation. Does anybody know any youth/student hostels where we can sleep for kinda small amount of money? This would help us a lot!
(if you have any suggestions, you might wanna send me a mail to [email protected])
Thank you

A lot of cubers are staying there now as far as I know. It's 18 € per night for multiple bed rooms

Some of us will stay at the Hostel Aachen (tell them you belong to the "Zauberwuerfel"="Magic Cube" group, they try to put us together in the same rooms). And there's the Youth Hostel Aachen (don't know anyone staying there yet).

Thank you Stefan and Sébastien, we'll book accommodation in a few days.
I'm really looking forward to it!

 

[Pitzu]

There are now 901 people on 3x3 blindfolded World Rankings. I think there is a good chance to reach 1000 in Aachen! Are there a lot of first-timers?!

 

[Fabian Auroux]

66 are registered without a WCA-ID Should count as a lot

 

[TMOY]

There are 71 people registered for 3BLD, and 42 of them already have a successful official solve. That leaves at most 29 new BLD solvers. Sorry Pitzu, I don't think we'll reach 1000 that soon...

Yes, but there are some more competitions until Aachen, and Aachen is quite big. So we will see... or not see.

I booked at Hotel Ibis, is near the station and is 20 minutes far from the venue with bus. I'll spend around 60€ for 3 nights.

Kai, Katja and me also booked at the hostel. They didn't have enough room for all three of us, though. So, Katja and me will sleep at a holiday flat (which belongs to the hostel). They told us that there are already four other cubers staying at that flat. Does that sound familiar to anyone here?

How do you do that?

I guess it's us It's like 3,5 kms from the venue (according to Pitzu who booked it). It costs as much as the youth hostel, so 18€/night.

Have fun, everybody! I'm so missing such a big competition. When I saw how many competitors are registered....wow! Good luck to the organizers too!
