Re: So, where to repeat?

From central Europe perspective - price for airline ticket to Vancouver in 
summer is rocket expensive. I can fly to united states for half price.

So "cheap food" cant beat more than $1.000 extra fee paid to airline.

It does not mean YVR is a bad place, but I'd recommend to be carefull when 
talking about expensiveness.

Minneapolis has consistently had outstanding meeting facilities, and
I thought the facilities in Vancouver last week were excellent, too
(and the network team did an outstanding job - many thanks!).
Inexpensive, edible food is a huge plus, and there again, Minneapolis
and Vancouver have stood out.  But still, the only really serious
consideration for me is whether or not the facilities make it easier
to get done the things that need to get done.

Using those criteria, I would rate Prague and Beijing as good as or
better than Minneapolis, and cheaper if you avoid the big hotels.
