    Arrow Eastern European WHT Meeting!

    As there are many eastern europeans on the forums, I'm sure the idea of having a meeting would be appropriate. If anyone interested, let's start planning this one. First let's start with a country
    And a date.

    I happen to know quite a few nice places in the area...
    The countries and locations I propose are Hungary(Balaton or Budapest), Bulgaria(seaside), Croatia(Veli Losinj), Romania(Poiana Brasov) Greece(Paralia Caterini)

    The date might be something in mid August.

    Any other suggestions? Or interest for that matter?

    been there, done that.
    actually, it could be an AMAZING holiday, if your not going anywhere this summer or its not too late to change your plans, take the family there maybe?

    PM me if you want, I'll tell you what I did...

    Visiting Greece this summer might cost a tad more, what with the Olympics taking place in mid-August. If you do visit, Athens will be packed!

    Like i could afford to go anyplace right now with hubby being so sick these past few months and not able to work. But anywhere outside of Pa would be fun! i've always wanted to go to Scotland.

    Oh well... sorry

    Yes, this is about an European Meeting. Athens will be "packed" as timechange suggested, but Paralia Katerini won't
    And if Greece won't do...there are some other nice places, like the Black Sea

    I hadn't realise Eastern European was so far advanced. When did they get the Internet. I assumed they had electricity by now but wasn't aware they even had computers.

    Just nice to have somebody else (another country) to pick on as well as the good ol US of A, not that I don't get great pleasure hanging it on the Yanks.

    Lorand it's a good idea!
    Greece or Bulgaria will be great.
    I think too it will be very difficult to find vacant hotels
    during Olympiad. Bulgarian hotels will be overcrowded
    also to the end of August. Maybe we have to meet
    about 1 September?


    Doc, do you know who invented the
    first computer ?

    It's John Atanasoff - he's Bulgarian:

    The computer is actually a device that works on numbers, binary numbers actually 1's and 0's the first such device was invented centuries ago. it was called an Abacus and it is in fact the first computer.

    Now back to our regular program.

    I wish you luck with your meeting and hope you get it organized to everybodies satisfaction.

    Well then we kind of ruled out Greece. I'm still considering Bulgaria and Romania, so if we meet sometime at the end of the summer, maybe on the Romanian/Bulgarian border, atr Vama Veche, it could be great.

    But anyway, still waiting for some feedback.
