We had our first debate yesterday at the Japanese Businesspersons’ Debate Federation, and everything was amazing. The members of this organization are very sharp, and very interested in and good at debate. The crowd was about 30 people, all from various professisons. Many were interested in how to teach others at their workplace to use debate as a part of their normal workday. Afterward, we went to dinner and had many great drinks, speeches, and some great entertainment involving a few magic tricks.

Now I have to head to the lobby to catch my ride to go judge the East-West policy debate tournament. I think we are to judge the semifinals and the finals of this tournament, and give some commentary about the debates.

Isn’t that a great flyer?
