70K Before Wacken 2013

Argh there's no hot water

Oh yeah them too, but they're not in huge supply. Generally they'll be for sale in single serves and up to 1L, but that's it. Growing up I don't think we could get milk in plastic containers smaller than 2L, but they sell them like that now.

over here everything is cardboard except the 2L plastic one.

Are the cardboard ones all long-life?

moin

 

[Quark]

ah, ok.
I thought cartons where made of cardboard. or "karton" in dutch

Drankkartons in Belgium or tetrapacks might help you.

 

[Koldawne]

I always buy the 2liter ones of these:

no idea what you'd call those.

I call them jugs

 

[Koldawne]

so this I'm going alone from Colorado guy still didn't return...

You scared him good!

 

[Koldawne]

Fuck this shit...I'm contacting my boss and asking for back-up tomorrow I can't even do the absolute bare essentials for both jobs in just 8 hours

That's a good idea. You shouldn't have to kill yourself to work.. especially since they probably don't pay you enough to do 2 jobs!

 

[Koldawne]

Ok so, I guess I'm taking a tin of Milo and a jar of peanut butter with me from home, and perhaps some supplies from England before I leave...then share it around with everyone

I would do this but I don't know how impossible it will be to get it through customs. Also we are just coming with 2 small backpacks for 3 weeks so really there isn't much room for anything extra.

 

[Koldawne]

Oh and HI EVERYONE

 

[Quark]

What a stress to get a train ticket for a GUIDE!

It took me 2min. to explain what I wanted, it took 20min. to get what I wanted!

But it's set, just have to pick them up before I go, so I can get them extended to Moers (again). (as Moers isn't given in Belgium)

Are the cardboard ones all long-life?

In what sense?

I don't think so.

It'll be a piece of piss. Getting INTO Australia with declared goods is fucking painful, though so far I haven't had anything confiscated from me. Upon arriving "internationally" in Germany on both occasions, I was asked one question and they let me in the country. I didn't spot any signs anywhere with regards to stuff that was banned or needed to be checked out.

So yeah, I figure if I'd be able to get into Australia with said goods, I'll be fine.

The last thing of which we want to give an impression is that the work can be done by just one person. I haven't worked myself up over paperwork that's piling up behind me, but after just 2 days I'm already walking out of the office of an afternoon having not completed tasks that I was supposed to do that day. I thought I'd be whinging for help after at least a week. It also doesn't help that the office in town has new staff who don't necessarily know what they're doing yet

 

[Alix]

In what sense?

I don't think so.
