Someone needs to start a historical list of wiki-trains, wiki-buses,
and wiki-shippingcontainers on a page on Meta.

For thosewith the time in their schedule, it sounds like a great trip.On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 5:52 AM, Alan C Y Lai <alancylai@wikimedia.hk>wrote:Dear All,I'm afraid that Deryck Chan is overtly optimistic about the constructionof High Speed Rail in Hong Kong. As the line is still under constructionuntil 2015, the Beijing-Hong Kong through train will still be onconventional lines during Wikimania 2013.

The travelcan take a minimum of about 2 weeks (of intensive train :), but it would bemore comfortable to take more time; the price seems to be about 300-400 €(+food, visas, etc…), so probably less or similar than the airtravel of ~800€.Does anyone is interested to join me? You have time if you want thinkabout. If we are some people interested in Europe, we could join inDeutschland before continuing the 10k km :)~ Seb35 [^_^]_______________________________________________Wikimania-l mailing listWikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.orghttps://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l--Sincerely,Shujen Chang--Sincerely,Shujen Chang_______________________________________________Wikimania-l mailing listWikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.orghttps://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l_______________________________________________Wikimania-l mailing listWikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.orghttps://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l---Andrew LihAssociate professor of journalismUSC Annenberg School of Communication and JournalismEmail: andrew@andrewlih.comWEB: http://www.andrewlih.comBOOK: The Wikipedia Revolution: http:/www.wikipediarevolution.comPROJECT: WikiFactcheck: http://wikifactcheck.org/wiki_______________________________________________Wikimania-l mailing listWikimania-l@lists.wikimedia.orghttps://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimania-l
