The excited Suffolk Mambas all arrived safely on time in Japan (via Frankfurt) somewhat tired and have since enjoyed their "ho-ho" - not a Japanese term -  but one for the jamboree meaning "home hospitality" where they have met and been entertained by local families.  Today was the opening ceremony - they are GMT+9 hours - so if you managed to get it on the live video feeds from Japan at 12:00 today you had a treat!  For those taking part, an unforgattable experience.

The main 2015 Jamboree website is at http://www.23wsj.jp/index_e.html for the English version where there is a link to the Live Camera showing what's going on and get a minute flavour of what's happening.
