    I enjoyed the Corona disaster.”

    I have been to this event every year, but last year I was unable to go due to a declared state of emergency, so I was very much looking forward to the next two years. Although there were concerns about corona this year as well, the staff and the hotel were well prepared for infection control measures, and I was able to spend a pleasant time with peace of mind. I was also heartwarmed to see a handwritten letter at breakfast. I am looking forward to going back next year, although the infection control measures will continue!
