Danish Open hotel and travel thread

[Kenneth]

I hate I cannot afford to come, would love to go south and meet the spring in Denmark, not to mention all that cubing.

But there will be compeating this weekend in Sweden. in Västervik, only Sweds registred so far, it's a small competion pretty far of any mayor town so i'ts not wery easy to get there. But me and Anders found a nice cheap way to get there, 10 euro train ticket to Norrköping that is half way (150 km, normaly that is some 40-50 euro). From there we ride with Gunnar by car the rest of the way. The same way back. So, two train tickets of 10 euro + sharing the cost for petrol and it will be some 30-35 euros total for travelling about 600 km, not bad

At the competiton I will beat my NR's in MM and Snake and get Pyraminx average NR and I will also beat Henriks Nordic (Scandinavian) record average in MM that is 3.68 (my current is 3.72) And also set a average of sub 60 in 3x3x3 OH and sub 30 2H.

All that in my dreams

Hi Arnaud, my mom doesn't want to be left behind(she thinks it's scary) so if she can come too I also will come.

That would mean 5 people in the car again (Rama, Maria, Ton, Clément and me). Not impossible and not a problem if I can switch cars with Sandra. As soon as she returns from her holiday (monday) I will ask about the swap.

Oh, no!! Everyone is going except for me

It would be really great if we could stay at someones place. That is always so much fun. A hostel would be a good backup-option (also a lot of fun). There are going to be a lot of foreigners!

Car 1: Erik Akkersdijk, Joël van Noort, Dennis Strehlau and maybe Eriks girlfriend
Car 2: Clément Gallet, Ton Dennenbroek, Arnaud van Galen and probably Rama Temmink

Car 3: Gunnar Krig, Kåre Krig, Daniel Lundwall and possibly Magnus Cleasson.

More swedes are getting there in other ways.

 

[Dene]

A bit off topic, but I know we have more than one university in Denmark where lectures are taught in english. A lot of danish students prefer that because it prepares them for the international job market.

Yes I have looked at a Danish University, but it didn't look to suit what I wanted to study.

@ Dene: I almost got a Kiwi to join the comp but he is going to a party instead I don't understand him.
He lives in DK for this year and learned the cube after seeing me do it hehe

Henrik

That's awesome! More New Zealand cubers!

There is always England. If you find a place in the south east of England then there are many competitions in nerby contrys you can get to (wery few in England doe)

The problem is finding a University that is partnered with the University of Canterbury. These Universities are my options... Many of them you have to be studying in a particular degree (a lot for Law or Engineering students). I am actually looking at Sweden as an option though! Personally, I would love to go to Oxford University, but that isn't an option at this stage.

 

[Erik]

Err... not to be rude, but please lets talk about the travel and hotel stuff only here, why not make a: Danish Open 2008 thread too?

 

[KConny]

Right now it's sees like I'm gonna stay at the hotel I mentioned above since I was unable to find any information about a hostel in Nyborg.

 

[anders]

As mentioned, I will stay Hotell Villa Gulle. And I will arrive on Friday afternoon.

I am actually looking at Sweden as an option though!

What do you want to study? I am a professor at Uppsala University

Oooooh yes I was looking at Uppsala University as a serious option! I'm looking to either do a few Philosophy of a few Psychology papers. (Sorry Erik, he brought it up again).

 

[DennisStrehlau]

how much are these hotels you mentioned???
hopefully there is anther option where to stay...
by the way:
when the German Open take place, it will also be possible to stay here, cause i dont think, that the way to Gütersloh ist too far to drive from here...
we will see...

Greetings...Dennis...

350 DKK per night seems to be the cheapest option for Hotel Villa Gulle.

 

[DennisStrehlau]

@anders:

[Rama]

[DennisStrehlau]

@Rama:

[AvGalen]

Sorry to hear that Rama.

That means I have an empty spot in my car. Any takers?

 

[Joël]

Guys, I registered today!

I would not mind staying at a nice hotel. In fact, I would prefer that.

 

[Lofty]

I would like to take that spot, Arnuad! can your car travel across an ocean?
