<p>Ok, so I have this idea for a couple of days. I've met a lot of amazing people on CC and for one I would sure like to get to know them in person. I was thinking about people on CC meeting somewhere in Europe for two or three days in the summer.
Why Europe? I think this would enable many Americans to take part as well - as many people go on holiday in Europe. I know that this option is not going to be popular with everyone as there are people from all over the world. As about the exact place, I was thinking either some place easy to reach from all Europe - Paris, Amsterdam or Berlin would qualify, or for a low-cost alternative, Budapest. We could choose a hostel where to stay and have lots of fun!
I am just curious to see how popular would this idea be - so please tell me what are your thoughts on this thing.</p>
<p>If anyone's willing to shout out the trip to me, I'm all for it! ;)</p>
<p>I'm in, let's go to Europa's wahallla: Amsterdam</p>
<p>i m in if it is in April-May...
1st choice: budapest (it rocks)
2nd choice: amsterdam (no need to brings pots and pans :D)</p>
<p>Actually I'm gonna spend my April-may going around India.</p>
<p>Anyone care to join me :)</p>
<p>I nominate Dubai as the CCNAIUC (College Confidenital Non-Affiliated International Users Cult) destination for this year.</p>
<p>how about in the U.S where we get admisson? Most of us will be in NE (hopefully me at Princeton :p )...its easy to meet up cuz most places are about an hour or two away, and max 3 hrs. I think that might sound pretty neat.</p>
<p>I won't be there until late August.</p>
<p>And it's too messy before that... too pricey, no visas blahblah.</p>
<p>I am aware of that option, too. Nevertheless, I want to wait until admission to plan something in the US ;). I think the idea is very good, but the thing in Europe could happen in summer - that would be the difference. I am aware that many people on this board are NOT from Europe, so I am sure that many more people would not be able to attend than those who would. Anyway, if 15-20 people are in for the meeting, why not have it?</p>
<p>Hello,
could I propose you to come to china?
I'm a chinese citizen and it will be quite difficult for me to get visa!
or korean, I'd say. I'd like to go shopping in Korea, to buy tons of things before landing in the expensive States.</p>
<p>okie...this is getting too complicated...so why dont we have regional meets...one each in</p>
<ul>
<li>east europe (so ppl from west and middle east can join in)</li>
<li>india</li>
<li>china</li>
</ul>
<p>I fully support it, adides! Maybe we should create separate threads for them. On the other hand there would be the big CC Meeting in Fall, somewhere in NE USA (sorry California!).</p>
<p>how bout one in indonesia? <em>laugh</em>
but seriously, we can always meet in bali or somewhere beautiful and, erm... safe... anyone interested?</p>
<p>How about NYC :)</p>
<p>Or how about me will make a list of places and each person would put his/her name under a specific place. We could have few meetings then</p>
<p>Nepal-a beautiful country..it's popular for hosting summits and all...u will be stumped by the beauty!</p>
