Online Drinking Party

I was invited to a Zoom get-together by Ryo Shimizu, CEO of Gilia—with whom I’ve co-organized the National Elementary and Junior High School Programming Contest (JJPC)—and Satoshi Endo from ASCII, and ended up joining on the spur of the moment for about an hour just three minutes after the invitation came in. Being able to participate like this is one of the great things about online events.There were so many people from Gilia, and I even met some new people—it was a lot of fun (*^^*) Thank you, everyone!
