CC photo #158: The Debrecen 2012 team internet center
As in Budapest, the organizers of the Debrecen 2012 Europeans (and T-Mobile?) had arranged for this bus to be available, complete with computers and everything for teams to get on the internet. For some reason though empty, every time I went there.
