Oh SeleCt!
While what you describe sounds like it was really stressful for you at the moment, reading this made me laugh quite a bit.

Holy shit that is some crap.

Well at least it gives PPV some justification. That sounds harrowing.


It doesn't have anything to do with PPV. What a horrendously misinformed assumption.

I'm saying that the PPV $ was used to provide the players with lodging and to pay for their air fare. Select deserves better lodging, don't you think?

Not nice to hear this. I can't believe kone of the people you met knew how to transform +4477 into a german phone number. I mean, there are at max like 5 options that would make any sense, even if you didn't knew it.
And yes, it has been discussed that getting a room around cebit in hanover is either freaking expensive or impossible. But organizers should tell foreign participants at least if their room is not in regular hotel.

Also to the guy bringing a the "german are racists"-claim: Not speaking english is different from being racist.

I was waiting for you to get robbed at at least 3 different points in the story. When you were in a car with all your bags, full of complete strangers, and they go off course to a gas station for some random reason, I was really fearing for you. Suppose you were lucky to have that happen to you in Germany and not here in the south of Europe xDD

I also share some of your pain. I had to cross Germany once by train(s), and then one of them got rescheduled, and the loudspeaker informed everyone, in perfect german. I could only tell something was wrong when everyone started complaining and leaving. I finally made it, but the sensation of being in a place where you are essentially unable to comunicate with the people around you is not very nice. That made me realize I need to learn at least some basic german.
