The workshop was worth the trip

I really enjoyed the workshop. I will use it in teaching kids. The other participants are fascinating people. Our host, the Nihon Ki in, has been very gracious. It is the center of all professional Go in Japan and influential on everyone who plays. It publishes educational books. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and to give us quality information. It was also valuable to meet the other Go teachers from the USA and Mexico. I think we will all share successes and ideas into the future. We were living in a business oriented part of town. It was not the fancy skyscrapers of the financial downtown. But it was a place where there were many small offices in 10 to 15 story buildings. We could walk around and find our way. I met Go champions and professionals, as well as officers of the AGA, American Go Association. I need to improve my teaching and get results for our New Mexico Area.
