It's was a good weekend but very tiring!

After getting the place set up for the Expo and booking into the hotel we all headed off for a night of karaoke, food and drink which was good fun. As usual, I avoided the microphone but was happy just listening to everyone else belting it out especially as I was sitting next to one teacher who kept changing the words to the songs - at one point he had a few of us laughing so hard we were crying! From there we headed back to the hotel with some more beer and snacks and sat up to nearly 1am chatting. Next morning I was awake by 6am and we all met for breakfast at 7.30. Then it was back to the venue to give our orientation and a 9am start.

The day itself was good with a lot of presentations going on and although the numbers were small at the beginning (it was raining) there was a good turnout in the end. After we'd got the place cleaned up again I decided to go out for dinner after all so it was another late night for me and I had to drag myself out of bed this morning. Definitely an early night tonight.

Now that the Expo is over, I'm stepping down as co-coordinator and feel quite sad about it really. They are such a great crowd of people and every time I meet them I always have such a laugh but it's only for the time Keita is in the junior high school and hopefully we can still meet up every now and then.
