Fun, it was nice to meet people from all over the world, share knowledge, create new ideas and techniques, but most of all its just great to hang out with like minded strangers.

The lab like intensive nature of the course is quite different from most and I think very helpful for learning Houdini specifically, as the absence of daily life distractions creates the time and focus to solve problems - and then create some more. Also it might be challenging to think of a better backdrop than lovely Český Krumlov.
