| A Road Trip was held and was a great success; see [[PlanN]]
| | [[Animu]] and other planning. |
| | |
| == Plan N+1 ==
| |
| === Location ===
| |
| * Japan?
| |
| ** It is probable that I (Smith) can provide a bilingual guide and possibly limited accomodation in Osaka
| |
| *** I would furthermore suggest that we do perhaps two major places (say Osaka and Tokyo) with a simple and painless transition between them
| |
| **** Not necessarily convinced - I rather liked the flying visit approach of the previous trip - but in practice I guess there're not so many places in Japan. I would want to see Kyoto at least, but that's a perfectly reasonable excursion from Osaka. --Lmm
| |
| * dash it all what *is* it that you see in japan
| |
| ** When you look into the abyss, &c
| |
| * The Trans-Siberian Railway has been proposed with varying levels of seriousness
| |
| ** I meant it entirely seriously, but thought it would be best combined with the above (especially since I expect few people other than me to be interested) --Lmm
| |
| *** Apparently it is not as time-consuming as I (Smith) thought
| |
| *** six days four hours on the actual train, moscow to vladivostok (this is not allowing for touring time)
| |
| **** I (Smith) have also discovered a train called the Sibirjak that goes from Berlin to Novosibirsk
| |
| * Soviet Central Asia, China and Mongolia are also interesting places if we wish to go somewhere exotic
| |
| ** Combining this and the above, I (Smith) note that one can go from Moscow to Beijing by starting out on the Trans-Siberian and changing at Tarskaya, and that this is in fact substantially shorter than going all the way to Vladivostok
| |
| *** It is even possible to do this '''via Ulan Baator''', but that is well over 10Mm
| |
| * Could do a road trip 2.0 to Istanbul now that we know about Kompas car rental; a Croatia/Serbia/Romania/Bulgaria/Turkey/Greece/Macedona/Albania/Kosovo/Bosnia route would actually have very little overlap with the previous effort
| |
| ** i rather like this idea
| |
| * We could potentially hire '''in''' Istanbul, from where we can turn either West or East
| |
| * Israel, Palestine and perhaps some neighbouring countries would be interesting (and likely cheaper than venturing further afield), but I (Smith - who else, ololol) expect the Kosovo Passport Issue returns with a vengeance if we do this
| |
| ** and i expect that the "swathes of desert punctuated by terrorists" issue rears its ugly head
| |
| | |
| === Dates ===
| |
| * A year after the previous one?
| |
| ** Good for purposes of holiday allowance
| |
| * At Comiket time?
| |
| | |
| === Things to bear in mind ===
| |
| * There is a significant danger that this will become hilariously expensive
| |
| * On a scale of ''n'' to ''m'', how attached are we to the idea of road-tripping as a method of transport?
| |
| | |
| === Attendees ===
| |
| * Lmm
| |
| * Smith
| |
| * mr edward a. heaney (probably)
