Same thing here, Norway is probably the most expencive contry in Europe I'm afraid. So I can't afford it. The week after it is the Helsinki open and I will go there instead if I can find the money for that (I think I have a sponsor actually =) The cost to go there from Stockholm is about a third of the cost for Trondheim.
I cannot change the fact that Trondheim is hardly the center of universe, in fact not the center of norway either. But almost all participants we have so far are from Trondheim. Me and Eivind are also from Trondheim, so moving it is not possible :-o If not too many foreigners are coming we should be able to offer very cheap accomodation
