Just a short note that I'm still alive after a week in the Gobi. We're now relaxing two days in Ulaan Baator (showers! fast-food! toilets! internet!), before leaving for another two-week trip to the west and north of Mongolia, including camping at a volcanic lake and 3 days of horse riding.
YAPC::Europe seems to be doing well, with more than 300 registered attendees - and while I'm very happy with beeing on holidays and doing nothing but driving with a jeep through the desert (camels!), I still miss the daily Perl-buzz a bit...
