Thanks, Manuel. I thought the Chapters' association (now council) was
a great idea, just checking to see if this was something new.

i am staying in Hostel Pepperland, just across the river of the conference

Hi all.
Sorry to reacitvate this, but I registered (apparently with success) last week
(Friday, I think) and I haven't received any confirmation email yet, or details
on how to pay the registration fee.
Any way to re-submit the info?
Thanks.

Hi,
ATM's have the best exchange rates that you can get but you should check
with your bank the foreign ATM charges they levy and just calculate if it is
worth it for the amount of money you plan on spending.

Hi,
Are ATMs in the Gdansk requires handling charge, aside from the
amount you withdraw? As far as I remember, that of Buenos Aires
and Ho Chi Minh City charged withdrawal. (e.g. If you withdraw
10 zloti, it'd be recorded as withdrawal of 12 zloti.)

I'd rather you exchange your currency at a forex compared to an ATM at which
you are clueless of the rates that they charge.AJ

Can't confirm it exists, but there's talk of a new Airport Bus--an
option besides bus and taxi:
newly launched Airport Bus, where 9.90złtickets can be purchased
direct from the driver (euros accepted). Catch it from the bus stop to
the right of the terminal building, and find your journey

I checked the registration database just now, and cannot find you in there.
If you'll re-register, I'll follow up and make sure you receive a

you'll find plenty of options to get to gdansk. If you have some small cash

I registered me and my girlfriend a few days ago (using this e-mail in both
