Arrival

Dear parents, principals, colleagues, siblings and friends, Ohayo gozaimasu! We apologise for this delayed telecast. We had been very busy settling into our campsite in the mountains of Kaizuka City and had trouble getting into the office for internet access.

You will be very happy to know that the 148-strong contingent arrived safely at Narita Airport and were thrilled by the cool weather and hi-tech toilets which washes and deodourises your butt automatically after you did your “big business”!

Within 30 minutes we were on the Airport Limousine on our way to Haneda Airport for our connecting flight to Itami Airport, Osaka. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by The International Commissiner of the Scout Association, Japan who had come in from Tokyo, Don San along with representatives from the Osaka Scout Council.Unfortunately there is NO MOBILE PHONE RECEPTION in the mountains so we are uncontactable in the evenings.

More updates soon.
