Some of them were difficult to understand for our Japanese. It means the point of Laugh is very different by each country.

Last speaker was TM S.I. The title ‘I love Whisky’ and he started with his body language by drinking Whisky. We all laughed and enjoyed his humorous and unique speech very much. We also learned the history of Japanese Whisky which nobody knew. I felt that Japanese Whisky has very interesting and dramatic history in the past.
We had a special Work Shop session by TM T.S. He made a presentation about how to resolve the conflict with using Power Point slides. The visual aid was very supported and easy to understand his message.
Today’s General Evaluator was our President TM A.T and at the beginning of GE Session, he informed us that the evaluation is the most important part of toastmaster’s activities. With evaluation, we can know what we need to improve, what is our given strength and characters.
