Nearly got electrocuted though because of the electric water pump in the lake I was swimming in, and all those moskitoes!
(And the wild horses on the island, Schrat!)

Let's not jump ahead of ourselves!
If there's a group of Bookcrossers who are planning on making a bid for Hong Kong in 2021, let them make the announcement for themselves. It seems a little unfair to steal their thunder.
Unless, of course, you're one of the people planning the bid, in which case, go right ahead and announce away!
would be cool for the 20th anniversary, but I don't know if there are enough avid BookCrossers there to organize it.
But how about a little later in the year when it's a bit warmer?
As you know, it's connected to BookCrossing Day.
conventions are organised by volunteers and have had no formal support. If volunteers want to create a convention during their countries spring/summer than there is no rule stating they can not.

There is no such rule, but it would probably not be fair to call it the International BC Anniversary Convention, seeing as it doesn't happen around the anniversary.
I believe at this point insisting it has to happen in a certain month is beginning to border on strange, the international conventions are a voluntary spin off of this site.

Up to now it has been, and I know there has been previous push back to have conventions around the anniversary of when the site was set up. When the founders came to the conventions it was nice to have the connection to the date, but that hasn’t happened for a very long time. conventions are organised by volunteers and have had no formal support.

But how about a little later in the year when it's a bit warmer? Remembering chilly Oslo and comments I heard. Nothing negative about Oslo, except some would have preferred a bit warmer weather.

Gothenburg had a lovely weather, sunny and warm! If the convention had taken place in Finland this year, you would have had the same kind of sunny weekend. Then again, it can SNOW in Finland around Midsummer and the grass can be green at Christmas, so you can never be really sure when it comes to weather around here. But that's part of the adventure, I'd say, facing different seasons in different countries!
If warm and nice weather is a must, the Nordic countries would be excluded for arranging the Convention.

We have a saying in Norway: There's no bad weather, just bad clothing.
Chilly weather isn't a problem if you dress accordingly. ;-)
But I tried to make do with what I have already

But for people from warm weather, we don't know how to "dress accordingly". It took me a while to figure out that when I was cold in cold weather, it's not because I'm so weak but because the winter clothes that I buy in warm places are only for looks. The real clothes designed for people in cold weather has little features that help keep body heat in and cold air out, designed for utility rather than style. Even shoes too...
Of course nowadays we can go online and shop. But I tried to make do with what I have already, not wanting to buy pricey things I'd use once a year or less, figuring if I bring all my thick clothes and layer them one on top of the other it would work, but sadly it didn't. : (

My hot tips is layers. Even I do that. I don't do wool, down, fur, etc., but layers are good.
