| I'm currently entertaining the idea of attending this year.
I'd like some info from people who've been, since I honestly know
very little about the more practicle aspects.
Best places to stay, which events on the calendar are actually as
cool as they sound etc
any info would be much appreciated
thanks! |

i have been a number of times. here some top of mind stuff. go with
a group or expect to join a group while there. book a hotel within
walking distance. alternatively one of the caravan parks. good the
park in advance since some are italian, australian, english, etc..
each country has their favourite. wear solid shoes (lots of glass),
bring a costume or something similar. generally the 1st week is
better than the 2nd week. more australians in the 1st week, more
italians in the 2nd week. make sure to get to the tent of your
choice early - 10 or 10.30am. once the tent is full, you wont get in
again until somone leaves or generall yaround 4pm. there are no
passes outside. weekends are alot fuller than on weeknights. tent
closes at 11pm. this may seem early but if you have been
drinking/sining/
singing/dancing for 12hrs nonstop you will be glad to find a kebab
and your place to sleep. generally you should stay at least 3 days..
but longer than a week is not really necessary. you will make lots
of friends and many of them will be travelling directly after
if you need more let me know |
