| The main reason of my stay in Sydney in May 2008 was of course the Pervasive'08 conference, May 19-22. Besides having a full paper presentation, we were co-organising the PERMID'08 workshop. However, luckily, there was still some time for sightseeing and other fun stuff :-)! As the picture on the right shows, it was at that time not too difficult for US-citizens to calculate what their US$ was worth in Australian Dollars (AUS$): |
