from Haris Wolfgang,USA Greetings, ... registration is proceeding and its great to see new and old faces. The congress site is fabulous. Michael Folta from hong kong sends his love ,Melinda, standing next me at the accomodation desk. We reporters are already on the scene ready to send back the latest gossip. and further... This congress already seems different, solid and very warm. This city Innsbruck is fabulously interesting with an old town full of nooks and crannies , 16th century, 2 feet thick walls all panted with historic characters, flowers and gold , wrought iron hangings. There is a park across from the congress center with a long line of horse and buggies, the river runs wide and unbelievably full with just melted glacier waters rolling down the ancient wildflower bedecked valleys toward Trento in Italy. I am being called by my wife and Mardyiah Gleeson for a late nite strudel and heavenly Austrian coffee. See you in the morning with some great pics love haris +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From Susannah Rosenthal,USA I'm here. Online and wireless. Rachman Cantrell just stopped by the table in the reception area where I have set up our USA Display to say he has taken a lot of pictures and we will try to send tomorrow. Also Haris just stopped by and he has pictures. We will try tomorrow to send some. Cheers, Susannah ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ From Heidi Hitchcock, Canada Hi Ilbert! (in Canada) Just a quick note to let you know that we have not forgotten about those who are not here...in fact, us younguns are planning a presentation of some kind to bring back to show Canadians. There will be a slide show, and maybe other additions. We are collaborating to bring a piece of congress back to you. We are all working hard, in various different areas of congress, from registration to catering to youth activities. We are all greatful for being able to come here and are doing whatever we can to help. It is quite amazing to sit in a staff and volunteers meeting last night and see that 90% of them are young people in Subud, under 30. Some very young too! The congress is being fueled by the young energy from all over the world. There is a line up for free internet, so I will write more soon. Lots of love to all, Heidi Hitchcock, Canada SYA
