I'm so jealous, it sounds like it was an amazing time! I wish they would hold more stuff like this in the US. I think there are just too few of us and we are spread too far apart. If you think the trains there are bad, you should see the ones in the US. Horrible! They are so slow!
Ah... I have no idea why, but we were flying from Spain to Poland to this Hivebeecon... 🤣 3-hour flight... Maybe we made a record, didn't check with others...
But, it was surprisingly successful as the idea was to create a "small" meetup... And in the bear market to gather this many people, it was amazing...
Plus, so many fantastic people! I hope you will be with us in some of the future events!
Maybe one day I will make it across the pond! I hope so anyway. I'd love to meet some Hive people in person who I haven't onboarded myself.
I wanted to do it this year with HiveFest in Mexico, but there were so many other things on the table, and I didn't make it... Luckily, @gtg did this idea with HiveBeeCon, so I'm feeling better for missing out on the HiveFest... a bit better...
But, still jealous of people who did both! 😂
Yeah, you are right. The total area of the US is similar to that of Europe but number of Hivers in Europe is much higher than in the US. So it´s easier to host these meet ups here.
Talking about the differences between US and European trains, have you seen this? :D Explains a lot I guess...
Yeah, that looks about right. I took that line from Kalamazoo to Chicago one time and it was horrible. More space than a jet and fewer people, but it literally took forever!
