I survived my time in Jakarta, or more accurately the SEAMAC Maths competition. It was certainly a long four days and has made Monday morning even more tiring then it already is. But it was worth it, I got to know a new set of kids, who I liked very much, I met some new teachers and saw how the competitions run. This one was a little disorganised, but it was the largest ever with 350 students and 40 schools (but not really an excuse, just needed a bit more careful planning). The last night there was a Gala Dinner awards ceremony. It was nice to see all the kids dressed up and excited about Mathematics.

Set, one of my favourite games from childhood. I bought it just before Christmas and the kids loved it. We played loads and I was pretty happy to win most of the time! Although, I am sure with a little more practice they will destroy me.

A nice experience, but happy to be back at home, out of the traffic and with my L's.
