We made it to Unicon12 on Friday in Japan and the convention is in full
swing. The welcome party the first night was amazing - stepping in out
of the humid evening air to a room filled with hundreds of friends, old
and new, from all over the world. Yesterday was the opening ceremony,
followed by the Group competition. With 37 groups competing, it took all
day, but it was in a beautiful and cool gym with a HUGE crowd on hand.
The final group was the famous Toyoda Team from Japan and they were
stunning - absolutely fantasic. The foreign teams (very few) got a great
crowd reaction even though their level in general was far below the
Japanese teams who seemingly train endlessly for this event. A great
day. Today is Pairs Freestyle, tomorrow individual. I'm in a hostel
sending this, with sweat drip drip dripping down my back as I type...

More later,
Nathan
