LUGS United 2016 was my first AFOL event that I visited outside of Bulgaria so I didn't know what to expect.

When I arrived in Belgrade I was amazed by what our hosts had prepared for us. The venue was great, our hosts were great and this was just the start. There were a great deal of huge MOCs, drinks and food but above all else many AFOLs that became friends in a matter of hours.

And this was the most amazing thing. People from all over the world came to Belgrade because of a little plastic brick and connected with other Lego fans. We’ve talked not only about our hobby but many other topics that helped us bond and find out more about each other. The activities that out hosts prepared for us helped a lot to achieve that as well. There were special presentations and everybody got a chance to present their LUG to the others and talk more about the community in their own country. We engaged in a friendly Lego themed games that were a great fun and a challenge at the same time. On the second day we even got the chance to experience Belgrade and its culture on a free tour organized by our hosts. The night was spent in a great restaurant and the conversations become even more interesting after a couple of beers.

Overall we had a really great time and I can’t wait to meet again at LUGS United!
