 		@unagi - That looks cool! What mode of transportation did you use to do the trackstick test? Is it by car or you actually run through the course?

 		Report: Tokyo Human Labyrinth Training (Sunday, June 1)
I apologize I haven't been able to write a report of the Tokyo labyrinth (Sunday, June 1st) ... I'm on a business trip, and now there remain a lot to read in uF now .... But:

The first human labyrinth in Japan was a great success! Please see:
GasKetz (Dikaiosune)'s report in Noriko's Forum (translation) - videos and photos
Japanese Wiki - videos and more photos
Ariadne's blog - videos

I would like to add:
- Fifteen people participated, including street performer, cosplayer, magician and some from very far pars of Japan
- At the assembly point, before the first participants arrived, there was a poster saying "Nedetrui Paralelaj Universoj! Nitrogen" (my translation: Don't destroy parallel universes!) (Nitrogen is one of the most active in Noriko's forum, and he has declared he is on Theo's side). I had brought a sort of duct tape, following jasper's advice, but we couldn't kidnap Theo's alley unfortunately, because he/she didn't appear during the training.
- Yoyogi Park is always full of performers, so our labyrinth team looked very natural among them. A member of the team, Huma, wrote he realized the true meaning of Chapter 4 of the Codex, "hiding our labyrinths in the clear view of those non-initiated."
- I love this photo .... It's beautiful, isn't it?
- Tatoo seals and strength seals were so nice!
- We finished the training event about 5pm.

To be continued ...

 		By the way, I took tatoo seals, strength seals and a trackstick. Remembering Noriko's meeting with people in San Francisco, I asked Noriko to send us tatoo seals before Tokyo labyrinth, and Kai sent me the seals. I had discussed with Noriko that Tokyo will need a trackstick, so I was suggested to receive one together with the seals. I wanted Kai for a delivery arriving before the Tokyo labyrinth. Later James's atlas revealed 24 omphcities (Note: Japan islands aren't in his atlas), and Tokyo isn't in Eli's list of 27 omphcities, but Chapter 23 and the omphaputer say "at least 27". Ariadne also wrote "We're still waiting to uncover more". I believe that Tokyo will join the Earth-sized omphalos.

It's by bicycle. The labyrinth area is about 900 x 900 m.

Our new Dikaiosune of Team Tokyo decided to join the worldwide synchronization labyrinth festival on June 7-8!
In Japan, they'll run at 6 AM !!! (Are we crazy?)

(I've wondered long where to post this, so temporally I posted this here.
Any suggestions? I couldn't find a thread specialized in the synchronization labyrinth festival)

Hi unagi!

I watched your video and it is impressive!

Please post your event here.

As you can see, we have a few cities that have posted events for June 7 (June 8 for you). I cannot believe you are going to do one at 6 AM! New Zealand isn't even trying for 9 AM, which now sounds late by comparison. Smile

I am so happy you are joining the synchronization!

 		While you are yawning at 6 am, think of Austin, where it will be 4 pm and probably 100 degree weather (38 C) We hope to be in the worldwide labyrinth synchronization too.

(what's early about 9 am, NZ? Very Happy )

Thanks, Pita! When Noriko went to California, I almost gave up running a labyrinth in Japan, but now a lot of Japanese have joined us!

I've just posted this. Noriko had already posted one, but her group is separate from Ariadne's. So I once sent it to Ariadne's group, but it's in Japanese, so now get it back to Noriko's group and posted an English version into Ariadne's group.

In fact, I can't go there this time -- I live very far from Tokyo. I am worrying about how many people will join. But DDincrement says he hears some people are joining.

You seem more crazy than we .... I've realized the synchronizing is very challenging itself.

By the way, is the labyrinth that the synchronizing cities are going to run 3-circuit or 7-circuit?

 		We have to start with 3 in Austin as we are few and haven't done it before. And 5 circuits are all I can fit on our court.

 		Just FYI - the NYC people are ready and waiting to go for our turn at the competition. We will be there at 4:30 today - Central Park entrance at Columbus Circle. Game on.

Even though we face temperatures of almost 100 degrees F. which is really hot and muggy, we will do our best and prevail. !!!!

 		Report of Tokyo 6AM Labyrinth
First I apologize that Team Tokyo couldn't start the labyrinth at 6AM.
According to their report in Japanese, four volunteers participated. I am very proud of them.
They gave up forming standard human walls, and ran 7-circuit labyrinth in a method of moving walls, expecting it would help the next chance.
The new Dikaiosune DDincrement is actually an extreme Sofia, and the team analyzed difficulties specific to 7- and 5-circuit labyrinths in great details.
Only one, Tenkawa, could walk through the 7-labyrinth. His record was 3 min 10 sec.
(Where can we find the world record of 7-circuit? I think it's from San Francisco.)

I couldn't join the Team Tokyo as I live very far, so walked a personal labyrinth at 6AM by myself.

I didn't know NYC also gets so hot ....

And jasper, I watched your personal labyrinth video!

 		Thanks for the report! That was my friend in the video- probably in synch with you if you walked at 6 am. We only had 4 in Austin as well, but due to bad timing, the 4 of us weren't in the park at the same time- total flop here. Embarassed
