Trains may be well run - but have you ever tried to take a bike on a train in Belgium?

I did - it took hours to get the ticket sorted...

Looking forward to seeing you all in Brussels. And hey, I'll be able to get some Belgian Euros. At least, I've been told the Euro is going to look different for every country. It'll be interesting to see what kinds will turn up in your purse (if at all, sigh). If anyone would like to hitch a ride: I will probably travel by car from the Ruhr-area to Brussels.

Letty, who now knows 10 times as many tunes on her fiddle, so beware!

Letty, the coins have one side which is common for all twelve nations and one side which is different for each nation.

The notes will be the same in all twelve countries.

see http://www.euro.ecb.int/en/section/euro0.html and http://www.euro.ecb.int/en/section/testnotes.html

Looking forward to meet you again!

So... this EuroGathering will be on the weekend of the

4th/5th May 2002

to include the UK May Day bank holiday on Monday 6th. And we'll travel over on Friday 3rd... and those of us who have no lectures to get back to may not return until Tuesday 7th... (I can do some course research in Brussels main library perhaps to justify the extra time away from my studies *grin*)

Investigating plane fares from Manchester atm. This will be fun!
