If all that wasn't enough, why not join the Eurobunk mass train jump to arrive in Cologne for the big anti G8 demo on the 19. The plan is, to meet on the evening of the 18, at 1900 SHARP in front of the International Ticket Office, London, to board the 1927 Eurostar service to Brussels, the next morning, meet up with activists from Brussels, Paris and beyond to travel en-masse onto Koln for the demonstration. The decision as to when to return will be decided by those present on the day. You will need to bring some money, at least, for food, but the choice of a passport is entirely up to you.
