Shoes
Please bring slippers for the Villa. It's raining/snowing in Slovenia and we want to avoid mud inside the house.
Lunch
We don't provide lunch, but there are snacks in the kitchen of the Villa, just help yourself! Hotel Astoria also offers a lunch buffet, please find details at the front desk of Hotel Astoria.
Dinner @ the Villa
Like every year, we will offer dinner at the Villa every evening between session 1 and session 2 (18:00-20:00). This is covered by the conference fee. Working in kitchen teams turned out quite nicely, so we'll stick to this system. Every evening a different group of people will take care of shopping, cooking, serving and cleaning.
In case you change your mind please edit your choice by 10:00 am of the respective day. Alternatively, there are a couple of nice restaurants close to the Villa. You are free to explore them on your own expenses.
Eating Speck
Before you cut-off extra large pieces of the wonderful Speck we brought from Austria, please have a look at the folliwing tutorial: MTW teaching how to cut Speck. Everybody who is caught not complying to the guidelines will be sentenced to severe measures :)
