In my experience, the crowdness of Golden Week begins at 29-30th. So unless you have trips plans after the meeting, the dates are fine. 26-27th are probably better. Just remember to run away in time after the meeting, ha:)
Another fact is that it's a little difficult to get train tickets near the Golden Week. Not sure about the high speed line since it just start this year and the price is much higher than reguler ones. Anyway if this Interim meeting takes place in Beijing, just take flight back from Beijing afterwards rather than go back to Shanghai first. ------------------ Peng Wu PhD candidate Department of Computer Science & Technology Tsinghua University, Beijing, China ------------------------------------------------------------- From：xiaohong.deng Date：2011-08-08 11:59:44 To：[email protected]; [email protected] CC：softwires; rdroms Subject：Re: [Softwires] Softwire Interim meeting >Either Shanghai or Beijing will do.
