Shattered

By the last day we were completely shattered, our bodies begging for a respite. There was a big party the night before where we were plied with various alcoholic beverages while playing a version of Bruce's Play Your Cards Right. It doesnt sound like the most exciting game but god, it was a brilliant laugh. Basically, the quiz masters sets us various questions and we had to decide whether the answers were higher or lower than the number given.

My favourite question was 'How many boyfriends did Okuda sensei have while she was at university?' We had to decide whether the answer was higher or lower than 1, baring in mind that this was 1980's Japan. She went bright red with embarrassment and the whole room erupted in laughter, all her students had no faith in her and every single group voted unanimously for higher. She was laughing so much that she could barely speak but we eventually discovered that the answer was indeed higher!!!

My group won the game, winning a University calendar and a massive bags of allsorted confectionaries. It wasnt so much the prize but the joy in winning, lawyers and politicians are such a competitive bunch!
