Well, it was last Monday, next week I should be able to go wherever I
need. Started discussing stuff with dean directly on the mail in the
meantime. Prices seems to hold, pushing him to prepare some kind of
official contract for University part. He also suggested some
alternatives for dormitory. I think we already checked them, but let's
see if he will be able to came up with something more doable.

Dormitory should be plan easy as they have official price list that is
signed by University and mostly non-negotiable if I understood correctly
(but trying something regarding it anyway). So for dormitory, it's just
up to us to tell them what rooms we will take and pay up and discuss the
catering, which might be a little problem with our own beer, but
hopefully not huge one.

So so far, my original estimate holds and we are on way to have official
contract. Who can sign it on behalf of us? Is it only Michael/Alan? That
would mean that we need English contract, right? Or should I try to
discuss it with Alena and ask her to sign? Or can I sign it on behalf of
us?
