Last year it was Vienna, Austria...
This year, nearly on the same dates and on whatever scale, small or large, we are hoping whoever is keen for a meet & greet will come along to...
Yes, OSL = OSLO !
Necessary Information:
What?: It's a DO! Like this one. (hopefully with sufficient people, otherwise it will be downgraded to a Meet!)
Where?: Oslo is the capital and largest city in Norway. Oslo is the cultural, scientific, economic and governmental centre of Norway. For more info about Oslo, click here.
When?: Tuesday (22nd pre-DO), Wednesday (23rd - the *actual* DO) to Thursday the 24th of September 2009.
How?: There are many ways to get to OSL, some more interesting than others. SK (Scandinavian) flies from most of Europe to OSL. Up to 6 or 7 flights ex LHR also. Interestingly, TG just announced that they are starting BKK-OSL by June this year also.
Why?: Uniquely Scandinavian location, colourful history (what's better than Vikings, really?) and relative ease to get connections to. There'll be plenty to see and do and autumn temperatures should mean the weather will be cold but bearable (10 degrees Celcius is the average for September, 5 degrees Celcius for October). I hear September is also great for seeing the Aurora Borealis (aka, the Northern Lights). Not sure if you can see this from Oslo, but here's hoping!
And lastly, because it's different from that other popular destination of late (wonder why?).
Who?: Flo, our gracious VIE-DO host last year, has generously offered his kind help to assist in the preparation as he's actually been to Oslo. More info will be gathered about the exact venues etc, closer to the date. Kyo <-forgot to add myself. Me, of course...
Hoping to see you all there with a plate of Lutefisk and some Gravlax! (you can drink that down with Carlsberg-Ringnes and Hansa-Borg or lovely Scandinavian water)
More funky promo graphics / pictures later! (to come, food, sights etc)
