In august of 2002, i went to japan with an organisation called the Pacific Venture. They organise several trips a year, taking the grandchildren of japanese prisoners of war, to learn about the country, it's history, the ways of their people, and to make links between japan and the uk.
So, after having been selected from over 2000 people to go on the trip, i was invited to a Teambuilding session in edale, England. From then on in I could not stop thinking about what was coming next. The folding of 1000 paper cranes was now the next job !!!!! - during my trip to japan, i was to cover 23 degrees of lattitude, hence the massive change in climate - Sometimes unbrearable, osaka was 38 Celsious, and 99 % humidity !!!!!hey
