Re: L10n FAD?

Hi Rafal & everyone,

The hotel is expensive because is a super expensive hotel. Normally
accommodation in Germany is quite reasonable. Personally, I may attend
FLOCK but I seriously doubt I will stay in that hotel as I can't pay such
prices. But AFAIK, one can stay anywhere, is not mandatory to stay in the
same hotel where the conference is.
So...  why putting a FAD 3 days before FLOCK starts will cost near zero?  I
didn't understand that part.
If you plan to take a nap in a German train or bus, be careful, you may
miss the stop.  Unless Dresden has particularly bad services, German
S-Bahn, U-Bahn, trams and buses are fast and smooth, you don't have much
time for a nap except if you're reeeaaly faraway from your destination. On
the other hand, they often announce the next stop on a speaker.
I'd like to know a bit more about this because I'd like to participate too.

Kind regards,
Silvia
