Safe Journey !

Almost 2.000 JavaPolians will be traveling this weekend (and the following days) to Belgium. The JavaPolis team wishes you a safe journey and would already like to welcome you in our small (but complex) country.

Once in Belgium you'll need to drink our beers (watch out with Duvel), eat our chocolates and taste our fries with mayonnaise

If you want to avoid long queues then make sure you pickup your badge on Sunday evening. If you're only attending the Conference then collecting your entrance badge (and welcome bag) on Tuesday afternoon could be a smart move.

Safe trip,

The JavaPolis Team

Get Your Kit On

Last changed: Nov 27, 2007 12:20 by Stephan Janssen

JavaPolis 2007 has a StarWars theme (view cartoon) so I hope you all view it as a challenge, as there are prizes for the best 10 costumes.

Available Costumes

I can highly recommend Pink Pineapple for those within easy shipping reach of the UK, as they provided me with some Jedi Robes and Light Sabres. There are plenty of other costume vendors out there.

I just dare you guys to turn up as Princess Leia. Unfortunately they don't do it in a size fit for a 6'4 male, so that rules me out.

(view as slideshow)

Princess Leia (Gown) Princess Leia (Sexy) Storm Trooper Skywalker

Obi-Wan Jedi Robe Jedi Knight Darth Vader

Darth Maul Boba Fett Yoda Chewbacca

Bonus points for thong/string inspired adaptations!

JavaPolis nightlife map

JavaPolis nightlife map

FYI

Inspired by last years visit to Antwerpen and JavaPolis I have started making a little map of downtown Antwerpen. I put on locations that I think are important to know going to JavaPolis 2007, like busstop, Metropolis and the good bars.

Feel free to copy the idea and make the Antwerpen-JavaPolis-Where-To-Go-map for all us envying the belgians for the great beer I believe I have found a good part of the great pubs (some I went to last year, others I have read about), but others might exists. Also, where is the right places to eat, if at night you want to discover Belgian cuisine.

See you in December.

Regards,
Thomas Saxtoft

This year the tram line in front of the MetroPolis venue will be in service, so this will hopefully resolve the taxi queue !
