[Bf-education] Blender Impressions from the East..

[Nicholas Jainschigg]

Thanks for the in-depth report, Igor. I so want to visit Slovenia--my father
was from there (Ljubljana, or when he was born there, Leibach) and I've
never been.

> Oh yes, that knight's hall also looks great! There's also a grand

> Mario, one of attendants, mentioned that it's possible to hire that

> Blender award ceremony in Slovenia! \o/ I hope that we'll be able to
> fill all the places soon.. :P

> For sure I wish more of such a pleasant experiences in the future and I
> hope to see you soon!
