Hi Everyone
The Jamboree Blues are in full swing, and I can't see them disappearing any time soon. It still hasn't sunk in that Jamboree, and all that comes with it, has officially ended. Whilst on Jamboree I tried to keep up to date with blogging, posting photos pretty much as they happened, however, it is impossible to accurately put into a blog post the massive scale and excitement of the Jamboree.
Anyone who was on Jamboree can probably relate when I say 'I wish I was in Japan again', its not that I hate being back in England, it's more that I miss being able to experience every amazing thing we did, from the ceremonies to the parties, with some of my closest friends. I also miss the buzz of the Jamboree site; from being around thousands of people for 10 days to being alone at home, I felt pretty lonely.
Rather, than ramble on forever about things I enjoyed and experienced, I'm going to try and condense the whole trip into my 'Top Ten Moments', which I will hopefully upload in the next week or so *near future*. In the meantime, here's a couple of photos showing the pure scale and enormity of the Jamboree, which I hope shows just why people describe the Jamboree as overwhelming.

| My bag's blue, can you spot it? |
 |
| I miss my HoHo family ! |
 |
| The ceremonies showed just how huge the WSJ was |
 |
| 40000 people, one arena |
 |
| Meeting so many different, lovely people was a highlight |
 |
| This view is one I never thought I'd see |
 |
| It wouldn't have been the same without my jamfam |
 |
| And I'm pretty good at coach journeys now .... |
It might be officially over, but that won't stop Unit 8 ! We are actually having our first (of many) reunion this weekend at Braidwood Regatta, an event we took part in last year (read the blog), to begin reminiscing the biggest adventure of our lives so far.
More photos from Japan and this weekends activities are on their way soon !
Thanks for reading
