I think, and hope that this is the last blog of this trip from Japan ...
We had an awesome time ... and Japan is a great place ...
I really liked the place, the people and the culture ... and got to learn a lot from this place and this entire event ...
Only the language and the food was kind of a problem ... other than that, everything was perfect ...
Today was a tiring day ...
From morning, we were at the conference hall and after all the prize distribution ceremonies, had the flag exchanging stuff and all ...
It was all fun ...
It turns out, my predictions were almost right ...
I got all the three teams right ... but the order got mixed up ...
In the software design, Russia came first ... Followed by Greece and then China ..
In the short film category, our India team came second and the Mexico team won the event ...
The Canadian "Thoughtpulse" team came third ...
If you would like to know what each of these teams ( in the software design ) did in more detail, you can click here.
Night time, we had a fireworks display ...
Today was Japan day ( I think .. ) and all the streets were and the entire harbour was filled with Japanese in Kimonos and traditional dresses ...
All the roads were closed and all the people were on foot ...
I have never seen so many Japanese at a time ... the whole harbour side was jam packed like a rock concert ...
We got a decent show from the convention center ...
Anyways, tomorrow we have to catch a flight at 11:00 am and have to apparently leave the place by the 5:30 bus ... as the ride to the Tokyo Airport is 2 hours long and we need to go and check there whether our flight will actually take off ...
We are supposed to land in Mumbai ... and all the news that we're getting here is bad ...
So, we're trying to get to Delhi and then take a flight to Pune from there ...
I hope everything works out well in the end ...
As always ... some more pictures of the trip ...
Some shots from the fireworks show ... Not at all good ...Didnt have a tripod and impossible to do without one...
The big Japanese rush I was talking about ... All the roads were just full ... of people ...
Anoter fireworks shot ... More decent than the previous one though ...
The entire Indian Contingent ... with the two teams who actually won something ...The Short Film and the business plan team ...
Seen on the rightmost corner in black ... is Morris Sim ... the guy who started the Imagine Cup.

Nice to hear that 2 Teams from India Won:) Next Year, Our Software Design team too wins, with you:)
Enjoy your Plane Trip and hope Mumbai Gets in Order before your Landing.:)
congrats for the 2 wins and wish you a safe return! Mumbai is limping back to normalcy and i'm sure the scene won't be half as bad as it was for your departure.
