[Dene]

More news to follow, hopefully very soon or at least within 2 weeks.

Woo! good to hear

 

[masterofthebass]

My legit sources tell me legit information will be announced at 3AM EST on January 16th 2011. Sources are too legit to quit.

 

[blakedacuber]

3am? that sounds like hammertime.

 

[Vincents]

Thailand's safe right now right? Nobody's protesting the govt?

 

[Kian]

Bangkok isn't having the same unrest as they were having several months ago, no.

 

[NoobCube]

Hopefully it will be held in the UK... Plenty of big cities there. Sadly I have no real knowledge of how the location is decided upon or who quite arranges it so all I can do is whinge on here but... seriously, I can only really attend if it's in the UK somewhere but somehow I gather that there aren't many UK cubers on the whole..

I can say with some confidence that it won't be in the UK.

 

[Kirjava]

Should be in the next few years though.

Here is a summary of where it's been btw:

1982 Hungary
2003 Canada
2005 USA
2007 Hungary
2009 Germany

Asia has been a real cubing "tiger" of late. It would be good to acknowledge that.

Hmm..right after my birthday..assuming travel/hotel isn't insanely expensive I think I'll try to make it.

Any idea when the announcement will be?

 

[bigbee99]

I hope it gets announced officially soon!

 

[TheMachanga]

I can't make it. School, lol.

 

[izovire]

Bangkok should be cheaper than Hong kong at least, I will start planning my trip soon. After it is announced of course

 

[Faz]

16-18 is Sunday to Tuesday, so I assume you mean 14-16?

Also, looking forward to the food again. The hotel is absolutely amazing.

Please define plenty and/or big. China has 30 to 40 cities with over 1 million people.

I am monitoring Dan's statement like a hawk

 

[Dene]

That weekend would be perfect (assuming I stay in Christchurch and have classes at university) as it is the weekend after the last lectures (i.e. study break) .

Same. All assignments have to be handed in before the 17th of October when SWOTVAC starts here. I just have to apply for leave for a few days at my new job... >.<
