Euro 2010

...

Can't wait :p Now the question is how I will get the friday free from school.

should be no problem, you're one of Germany's Top-Cubers.

Huh? I don't get what you mean by that. Do you mean that I'm not going to have to compete in the qualification rounds? Probably, that's true for most events. But on Friday there are also some side events which I want to compete in.

Also, my school director won't give a **** about how good I am at cubing ^^ I will just ask for a Beurlaubung (what's the English word...) or I will just be "ill" ;)

I actually meant that you should just ask your director to give you an extra free day off, because it's the Eropean Championship and you're one of Germany's best cubers.

When I was in school, one of my class mates was part of the German National Roll Hockey Team and she got loads of extra days of from our director.

As seen on "Germany's next Top Cuber." Right after "So you think you can cube?"

Anybody want to enter mosaic building with me?

I will! and also Waltz dance with you but my diet programs not succed so would you dance with Big fat Lady? :D
 
Myself and Sophie have registered, she is really looking forward to it she has been practising every day since the UK Nationals and is well within the qualification criteria. We recently got here a 2x2 and she is getting better and better with that!

She asked me if there will be any other 8 year olds competing.
 
my father thinks it is exaggurating to go to Budapest for only a weekend for solving Rubik's Cubes.

Huh? What's wrong with him? Has he ever been to something like this, or how does he know it's exaggerated? Plus it's not just solving puzzles, it's also meeting and having fun with others from all over Europe and you won't be solving all day long, you can also see the city a bit. And it's not even expensive, apparently you can fly there for only 89 Euros and accomodation is cheap there as well. The experience will be well worth the time and money and effort, what's his basis for calling it exaggerated?

if that helps Corneilus, I think I can afford to give you accomodation. ;)

Thank you very much for the offer, but it's not about the costs, but about the fact that a 15-years old would go to Budapest for a cube competition, not seeing the city etc. A weekend is to short he says. Maybe I can convince my parents to ask the school director if I can get 3-4 days free of school after the competition, however my mother is pretty strict about that.
 
@ Cornelius,

I hope WE can see you at EC 2010 :D
I think if about European Champs and you are 1 of the BEST in the World the school Director will give you permission ( I hope he is also proud of you just like me and the rest of your Fan's ).

I can afford your meal during EC 2010! and about hotel you can share with Rama in hotel/ Rama's charge :D because I will stay with my family in Budapest.

Please Cornelius come to EC 2010......

Why a Big Competition always in October? Silly for Student
I know in October the airplane ticket is cheaper than in May till September so easy for cuber's who already got a job to take day's off and can afford the ticket but for student is a trouble :(
 
Oh my god, you are so kind Maria!

But the money is not the reason why I can't go but because the journey is too far just for a cubing competition (in the opinion of my father.)

Of course nobody can understand what a cubing competition is about if he has never been to it. But that's like it is. I kind of understand my dad but I think differently.

Maybe you can convince your parents that they also need a weekend in budapest as mini vacation. Take the friday and the monday of and spend 4 days in the town and you will have plenty of time to do tourist things as well. There is a lot to se in Budapest, i also stayed a few days extra during the WC 2007. You are way to good not to come :)
 
I was checking the website, and found some "problems" on the travel section.
So, if you see "BUS 3" that means "BUS 33" which is exactly the same bus which bus 3 used to be, but the name had to be changed :confused:
also, bus 14's number is 213, and the bus 233E only goes on workdays in rushhours.
It's not a mayor problem I know, but I don't want anybody to get lost:)
