Well, I’m back from Europe – I have been for the last six days or so,  
but I’ve been catching up – and I wanted to thank the hospitality of  
the European Rubyists that I met. I wrote a bit more on this on my  
blog: [http://www.halostatue.ca/](http://www.halostatue.ca/)

MINASWAN definitely applies to these guys.

Shame you missed the München.rb meeting. I was lucky enough to go to  
EuRuKo a few (2?) years ago, held in Munich. Aside from Bavaria being  
perhaps my favorite place on Earth, everyone was quite nice, and Armin  
was especially hospitable.
