Fellow HTLAL/LLORG friends (old or new) - it was great to meet you all. I'll post a summary in my log when I've recovered (or, done my Anki reviews ... it'll take a while).

Same here. I had such fun meeting you all. I just got home last night at nearly midnight, and now I'm experiencing some kind of culture shock or something. It might take me a few days to recover and get back to my routines.

Ditto. Great seeing old faces and meeting new ones. Looking forward to being more active on the forum, although the next 2 months will be spent in Hong Kong. I suspect I can still get the same web access. If not, I'll communicate through postcards and fax.

Just got back late last night (had to spend an extra 6 hours in the Copenhagen airport due to a delayed flight. Tired as all get out), but next on my list is to download Anki!

Do come next time. We're all a bunch of socially awkward weirdos, so if you're shy or something, it's perfectly OK. And if you can't stand that much noise, you can bring earplugs like I do.

Just for fun, how many total languages can this group speak?

After a week of staying up late every night drinking, put me down for zero.

It kind of depends what you mean by "speak," but Tarvos probably has them all covered anyway.

[Serpent]

It's hard enough to count your own languages
But other than her languages there's at least Finnish, Polish, [Croatian, Belarusian] (me), Irish Gaelic (Jeff), Japanese and Kazakh (vonPeterhof).
Sorry if I forgot anyone At the gathering I forgot to get an English sticker for myself

• English
• Norwegian
• Swedish
• Russian
• Finnish
• Danish
• French
• Italian
• Spanish
• German
• Mandarin
• Japanese
• Esperanto
• Polish

I didn't bother with the miscellaneous ones people listed as beginner or low. Also, a number of those languages are x2 or x3. Like at least 2 Japanese speakers. 3-4 French, etc.
