spider87 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Not to thread crap but this is why I started the 'Occupation thread..' it's amazing to see just how many of us can afford to drop everything for a weekend and fly to Europe to goto a one day GTG! I mean I totally would if I could afford to but alas I cannot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 A lot of us only live a few hours away by car. I think last years GTG only cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 yep that's the thing. I have spoken to another member from the forum who is going from London to Brussels with the Eurostar and i think it was 60 return. Not bad. Proper budgeting is key. London is too expensive for those GTG's but if we decide to go abroad it's cheaper. Have a look how much a train will cost to Scotland, and then a train to Paris. hmm hmm.

spider87 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I guess I'm referring more to the US members. I don't know the ratio but it just seems like quite a few people are going to be flying across the ocean and going to Europe for a day (something most people would only dream of being able to do)? I don't mean to judge I'm just amazed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest asim Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 well, some do have the money saved up somewhere. you're what, 19? once you've established yourself you will find times yourself where you can spend as you wish or at least grant yourself a little something something at times. besides there are also GTG's in the States.

Stephane Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 Well, first we do not expect anybody from the US...to fly for a day in Brussels. Second, if any US member would come to EU for a vacation, then of course why not drop by in Brussels. In fact, most of the GTGs are set for "a" continent. Only one was set by a crazy belgian guy (me) in New York...but again, only locals attended that GTG In short, in Brussels last year we only had EU members attending. This year, well I guess it will be the same unless Taka comes from Singapore but then he would do that while travelling in Europe for leisure... Hope this responds to your question...

spider87 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 It does Stephane thank you. I hope I didn't come off as rude, as I stated I'm just surprised. I'm really interested in a GTG at some point in the pittsburgh area. I wasn't when I made the thread but as I've gotten to know you all I've become a lot more interested in just seeing what kind of people I spend entire days sharing opinions and thoughts with haha.

takashi Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 That's a very lovely hotel. Very good value for money. If you are lucky, you will get a corner unit, you will get a bigger room. I would choose to stay there rather than in a hostel. Yes, I will be doing some travelling beforehand, visiting my friends in Germany if I am attending this one. @spider: the hangover can last weeks to come. But the memories will last a lifetime. PS: Don't forget to buy the Leonidas chocolate again. Maybe Stephane can show us alternative chocolattiers. The last Brussels GTG costs me about 100Eur. These are tix from Stuttgart to Frankfurt Main with ICE (26 Eur with BahnCard50), carpool courtesy of kelster, hotel room in Brussels (60/2 = 30 Eur) and then the rest goes for food at a very nice and cosy restaurant. Stephane even provides us with plenty of snacks and drinks. What I got back is priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
