Day 1 (5th Aug)
Depart from Singapore

Took Qatar Airway: SGD $1147
Total travelling time (include transit): 21hrs ++
8hrs transit at Doha is terrible... its cold and there is nothing to eat there. Manage to catch some sleep there before boarding

Day 2
Arrive Munich @ 1 30pm
Protest at the Airport
Registration at the EJC Venue (Olympiahalle)
SGD $289 for registration fees + free gala show ticket
$289 gets you to go for all the fantastic workshops, open stage shows, camp site to sleep , Oylmpiahalle to practise or to watch other jugglers practise. Its definitely worth it!!

After registered we start to look for our campsite
Manage to meet Oli from England ( I met him when he was in Singapore last year) so he manage to guide me to camp at the "Contact Juggling.Org" campsite area. It was a pleasure to camp with all the great contact jugglers there.

This is my tent! :)

After setting up my tent we went to walk back to Olympiahalle. (where the jugglers usually practise)

One of a great diabolist I saw when i entered the Hall ( 4 Diabolo low)
After that we walk back to our camp site for a rest and then we went to catch the first open stage at 8 30pm.

This is the Jugendzelt, open stage is in Showzelt
The great jugglers/performers during the open stage
Hiyro performed on the open stage too!!!
After the open stage we were very tired so we went to sleep early. End of Day 2
