Maybe the total cost. The flight cost about 800-1000 Euro and that is a lot for 
only 3 days^^

Then the Hotel and WOWDC, Eating and we speak about USD 2000.-/person

I am OK to do that for WOWODC 2013 in Europe, and maybe 2015 in Japan.

Let me think about that...

I did a WebObjects Bootcamp this Summer 2011 in Hiroshima (1 day) Japan and 
Fukuoka(4 days) Japan.
