Hi Iolanda,

At customs, it is sometimes common for officers to ask where you are
staying.  Given that we have not yet received accommodation information
yet, what do we tell the officers if they request an address?

Dear Lluís,

As far as I know, yes: Switzerland is part of the Schengen Area
(confusingly,
the UK is not). See also

Re: [Wikimania-l] accommodation details

[Joseph Fox]

I think this discussion is a little tangential now, but I imagine the
confusion is because the UK doesn't have an "ID card" like a lot of the
European countries do.

If in doubt, take your passport with you. :)

Re: [Wikimania-l] accommodation details

[Lodewijk]

Hi Harry,

You need a valid ID - this is not under discussion. This can be either a
passport, or a European identity card. The ID card also has a document
number, which is typically accepted as 'passport number' (I did that on a
number of occasions in the UK).

Basically, the ID card has the practical use of a passport anywhere in the
EU & some more countries.

Best,
Lodewijk

I was wondering what exactly is provided for in the accommodation. It's shared

cheap hotel-like setting, where bed sheets, towels etc are provided for? It 
would save me luggage, so that would be great :) And am I correct to assume 
that toiletries are available somewhere in the village if need be? 
Thanks for confirming!

 Hmmm.  According to the "Getting Ready" page[1], if you are assigned to a 
guesthouse or flat, they will provide bedding and towels.  I think it would be 
safe to assume the same for hotel rooms (although it is not specified).  
However, there is specifically no mention of whether one needs to bring 
bedding/towels for the "specialty lodging" (dormitory).   This was one of the 
reasons I wanted to know where I was staying, because I would have asked this 
very question myself if I'd been assigned to "specialty lodging".   Risker/Anne

 only have a building (scout centre ex-ristoro) for which we request a
 seeping bag or sheets, but it is a building we are using for some of the
 volunteers, in exceptional cases and we have already informed people about
 it.

 yes. In general there are no private bathrooms.
 Please bring your toiletry (you can also buy it in the shops of the
 village which will be open everyday June 22-27 with different longer times
 but more or less from 9 to 8) and your hairdryer if you need one (with the
 necessary adapter). I suggest you also to bring some warm cloths (sweater,
 jacket, umbrella and shoes for the rain - we expect 15-20 degrees which
 commonly is not very suitable for flip-flap), your adapter if needed, and
 some euro for taxi (taxi almost never accept visa), for your personal
 expenses and as deposit for your key if you are in Esino. There is a bank
 and ATM in Esino Lario but it can be quicker to change or to withdraw money
 at the airport or at the Milan railway station.

 To accelerate the registration please prepare for us
 1. a printed copy of your registration code
 2. a printed copy of your passport
 3. if possible 10 euro as a deposit for your key (only for people
 staying in Esino Lario; we will not ask it to everyone but if you have it
 ready makes things quicker)

 thanks
 iolanda

 Hmmm.  According to the "Getting Ready" page[1], if you are assigned to
 a guesthouse or flat, they will provide bedding and towels.  I think it
 would be safe to assume the same for hotel rooms (although it is not
 specified).  However, there is specifically no mention of whether one needs
 to bring bedding/towels for the "specialty lodging" (dormitory).

 This was one of the reasons I wanted to know where I was staying,
 because I would have asked this very question myself if I'd been assigned
 to "specialty lodging".

What Samat says is only true for Schengen-area countries; if you are
travelling from (for example) the United Kingdom, you will need a passport.
They will not allow you into the Schengen area without it.

Though I imagine most of the Brits here will know that already. :)

 I was wondering what exactly is provided for in the accommodation. It's

Re: [Wikimania-l] accommodation details

[Samat]

As I know:
Inside the EU you should bring with you your official identity card
(released by one of the EU country) OR your passport.
If you arrive from outside the EU or you would like to cross the border of
the EU, you need your passport.
Special case is Switzerland (not member of the EU), which is only few km
from Esino Lario. For EU citizens, ID card or passport is required to step
into Switzerland.

Best,
Samat

Dear all
yes. All the accommodation in Esino Lario have sheets and towels. We only have 
a building (scout centre ex-ristoro) for which we request a seeping bag or 
sheets, but it is a building we are using for some of the volunteers, in 
exceptional cases and we have already informed people about it.

yes. In general there are no private bathrooms.
Please bring your toiletry (you can also buy it in the shops of the village 
which will be open everyday June 22-27 with different longer times but more or 
less from 9 to 8) and your hairdryer if you need one (with the necessary 
adapter). I suggest you also to bring some warm cloths (sweater, jacket, 
umbrella and shoes for the rain - we expect 15-20 degrees which commonly is not 
very suitable for flip-flap), your adapter if needed, and some euro for taxi 
(taxi almost never accept visa), for your personal expenses and as deposit for 
your key if you are in Esino. There is a bank and ATM in Esino Lario but it can 
be quicker to change or to withdraw money at the airport or at the Milan 
railway station.

To accelerate the registration please prepare for us
1. a printed copy of your registration code 
2. a printed copy of your passport
3. if possible 10 euro as a deposit for your key (only for people staying in 
Esino Lario; we will not ask it to everyone but if you have it ready makes

[Lodewijk]

Hi,

As I am preparing to leave, I was checking a few basic things, which I
couldn't find in the documentation
. Maybe
it is obvious, or I overlooked it - apologies in that case.

I was wondering what exactly is provided for in the accommodation. It's
shared and simple rooms, probably with shared bathrooms etc. Could you
confirm it's a cheap hotel-like setting, where bed sheets, towels etc are
provided for? It would save me luggage, so that would be great :) And am I
correct to assume that toiletries are available somewhere in the village if
need be?

Thanks for confirming!

Best,
Lodewijk
