SYDNEY TOWN HALL SAMURAI

Nov. 4. Nagoya Day Dinner at The Sydney Town Hall, attended by the Mayors of both cities and various dignitaries. The Samurai team performed a shorter, simpler version of the pre battle ceremony. Bilingual MC was of course (samurai far left) ....moi!!
During the Kachidoki, where the Samurai draw their weapons and give a war cry, I invited the assembly to join us, and while the guests and dignitaries didn't have weapons, I suggested butter knives would make a choice alternative weapon....
Backstage with members of the Town Hall staff in front of the biggest pipe organ in the Southern Hemisphere....
..After the Town Hall gig, we all went back to the hotel for a final dinner and drinks session before getting ready to go home tomorrow afternoon....
